REQ: e-Mail Client

[El Gee]

[snip]

DOesn't Firefox do what you are asking for?

FireFox doesn't have an e-mail client. Thunderbird - a related project
- has filters, but none that say when getting mail from one account
move that mail to said folder.

many non-English calls!

Hi,

I need to find a replacement for OE that has mail filters that let me say
all mail from X account move to X folder, or a client that have one inbox
per account. Thunderbird doesn't seem to have this simple but powerful
option.

The client also needs to support SSL connection to the e-mail servers.

Thanks,

Karen

Hullo Scootgirl;

I've been using Eudora "sponsor mode" (free w/little advert showing) for
over 7 years. I'm currently on v6.0.3.0. Everything that you've listed
I am using successfully and I've had very little issue with it.

However, I've started switching my platforms over to Mozilla (v1.7.5).
Again, everything that you've listed I am using successfully and,
similarly, I've had very little issue with it. Both of these products I
can recommend to end-users. Eudora does not have an integrated
calendaring function. Mozilla (and thunderbird, etc) have projects for
such that are rolling out this year.

I'm dropping Eudora because:

- I need programs to behave similarly across different operating systems
(I manage a mixed environment network)
- It is proprietary (narrow user input, black-box roadmap development)

I'm moving my network clients to Mozilla.

- Open source. Means the opposite of "black-box" development.
Everything is out for review, discussion. I like to "see" where my
products are going. Helps me plan for the future.
- Manageability. I can set up & troubleshoot Mozilla across Wintel,
*nix & OSX platforms. Same structure, tools, behaviour.
- Portability. It is trivial and transparent to move & back up.

You may want to ask yourself whether you are happy to master a tool (ie
email) as given or, whether you want to see & be able to influence the
tool's evolution.

Speaking of evolution (smile), Check out gnome's Evolution2.0. If this
puppy were available on Wintel I would've given this a test-drive.

Regardless, one detail to help simplify your search: Set up your
current client and those you're testing to leave your email on the
server. At least until you've decided which way you're going.

Let us know what you decide!

Novell seems to have plans for porting it to Windows. They've hired
Tor Lilqvist (Gimp for Windows) to specifically work on porting a
bunch of apps to Windows, starting of with Beagle, the GNU desktop
search tool.

have you thought about using something like The Bat 1.62r?

It appears I did jump the gun there, I thought I read somewhere it was free and
it was posted on a magazine cover disk with a working serial, without actually
checking, I presumed what I thought I read was true

my appologies, I'll check before posting in future
