Uh... Did I miss the part where he explained what was wrong with existing clients? Without a clear, specific problem to solve, this is going to be an exercise in wasted time.
I was looking over the mailing list and just about everything I see mentioned can be done with Mutt (or Sup). Personally, I use gnus on emacs. Add in some org-mode magic and you have just about everything anyone could ask for (well, search is not as nice as I'd like it).
- ThinkWriteMute 17y agoI love "everything is just fine, all you have to use is (20 year old|text based software)" comments, especially when the suggested software has an FAQ with this entry: + I'm an average user. Why should I switch to Mutt? The top two reasons to switch are color support and threading.
- JoachimSchipper 17y agoTo be fair, threading is a very important feature in a mail client, and by no means all mail clients have it. Yes, there's a lot of very crappy webmail around.
- rudle 17y agosup++ I just wish it was faster (on large mailboxes) and more stable. I'm stuck on gmail for now. http://sup.rubyforge.org/ http://sup.rubyforge.org/
- samstokes 17y agoI'd love to try sup, but the incompatibility with other email clients makes it a non-starter for me. At minimum I need to use my phone's mail client without sup having to rebuild its index every time.
