My mail all goes through my own postfix server and POP/IMAP server |
19 |
before it gets to Gmail, and I already have an alternative solution |
20 |
for outbound SMTP for this server. |

I was talking about a decent FOSS browser-based MUA. The only ones |
23 |
I'm aware of are Roundcube and Squirrelmail, and neither supports |
24 |
keyboard shortcuts or tag-based mail as far as I'm aware. Actually, |
25 |
I'm not aware of any FOSS IMAP implementation that supports tagging - |
26 |
that is an email can be in more than one "folder" at the same time. |
27 |
But, I haven't looked too closely into that since without an MUA it |
28 |
isn't terribly useful. |
