12 Many years ago I also looked for a replacement for kmail, because kde3
13 was not longer supported and I disliked kde4. First I used thunderbird
14 but I was not very lucky with it (filters were poor and enigmail also
15 was not very komfortable IIRC).
16 I've tested all available e-mail clients and at the end I sticked with
17 claws mail. I'm still using this client and I'm very lucky with it.
18 However, if you prefer HTML-Mail, then it is maybe not the best choice
19 for you.

21 Btw, I'm using geany as text editor, ding as dictionary, thunar as
22 filemanager (sometimes also caja), qpdfview as document viewer, geeqie
23 as image viewer, sonata as mpd client, audacious as music player and
24 xfce as "DE".
