As a KDE user who has GTK+ merged just for pan support, I can identify. |
16 |
=8^( Personally, kmail works well for me. Well, it normally does. I'm |
17 |
trying the kde4 betas lately and my account settings seem to have |
18 |
disappeared due to switching back and forth between kde-3.5 and kde4-svn, |
19 |
but putting them back in worked, and that's the sort of inconveniences |
20 |
that one running betas gets used to, on occasion, but other than that, |
21 |
I've been quite happy with kmail. |
22 |
|
23 |
Note that I use the pop3 and local maildir delivery features only, |
24 |
however. While kmail supports IMAP, I understand it hasn't been as |
25 |
smoothly handled until recently, and possibly still isn't, altho IMAP |
26 |
should work in general. If you don't use or can avoid IMAP, kmail is |
27 |
nice. If you do use IMAP and can't conveniently avoid it, then I know |
28 |
there's basic support at least, but I can't fairly say how good it is as |
29 |
I've not used the IMAP side myself, but have read it's not the same. |
