Thunderbird works fine, if you're ok to do things Thunderbird wants to do |
| 25 |
things. |

The last time I tried it, it decided it wants to have copy of all the email |
| 27 |
from my IMAP-server locally. |

If it were a laptop with sufficient disk-space, then it would be ok. But as |
| 30 |
it's a desktop where I want to have usefull stuff locally. |

Having a copy of all my email locally on a desktop with gigabit connectivity |
| 32 |
to the mail-server doesn't really give any benefit. |

With that behaviour, I never bothered to see how replies would look. |
