With reading html-emails I've never had a problem. Actually I like the way Claws handles that now (maybe it's because I rarely/never compose messages in html). > > 2. have the application 100% multi-threaded...(even the plugins) > > 3. have it take advantage of multi-cpu's That kinda goes to point 7, I'd say. And there definitely have been improvements on that front lately (e.g. the expanding/collapsing of threads in your inbox has been dramatically improved performance-wise). Actually I don't see such a big need for speeding it up even more, it's already really responsive. > 4. have a import and export fuction, that can import from All clients, > and export to All clients...

(aka gmail) Don't really see what you mean by that. There's already a network log that displays problems with the mailserver when they occur.

Just install the claws-mail-mailmbox-plugin. I don't see much point in using more than two storage formats. > 10. a small SQL backend database, might be a nice way to go, > kinda like dbmail, but all together in one application. What for?

Since this was/is a discussion about whether Thunderbird or Claws is going to be the default mailclient for Xubuntu Karmic: were your 10 points in any way related to that? (Just asking cause I don't see the connection, not trying to be rude.) Simon -- xubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel
