At the moment I'm using claws and it seems quite fine. It has it's |
| 17 |
funnies (mostly just different behaviour from kmail actually) so I need |
| 18 |
to rewire my brain a bit. |

It wants to wait for me to manually expunge folders, and I haven't quite |
| 21 |
figured out how to always get it to use the correct .sig (a few times |
| 22 |
my work .sig got used on mailing lists where I always use gmail), but |
| 23 |
claws has these two amazing features that make it a killer app for me: |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
- it will not ever compose html mail but does a decent job of display it |
| 26 |
when received |
| 27 |
- it actually sends, receives and stores mail (akonadi users will |
| 28 |
appreciate how a mailer can get to make that insanely more complex |
| 29 |
than it needs to be) |
