Re: [gentoo-user] Any decent alternative to Thunderbird?

[Marco Rebhan]

I'm a fan of KMail (it can be somewhat janky while you set it up but 
afterwards it doesn't cause too many problems), I used Thunderbird 
before too and prefer KMail over it.

Maybe the problem with the Thunderbird crashes on Wayland is the same as 
for many KDE apps including KMail though: they do blocking work on the 
main thread in some cases which freezes the UI which then causes the 
event buffer to fill up... and as a result wayland terminates the 
connection. To work around that I have these patches that increase the 
event buffer size when it fills up, like X does (not written by me, 
though I did make a similar one before I discovered these existed, these 
are better written so I ditched mine) to dev-libs/wayland, might be 
worth trying them first before switching to anything else: https://

If you do decide to try out KMail you might want them anyway though, 
they have fixed crashes for me there.
