Thunderbird also seems to be facing a massive rewrite.[0] Are there any good FLOSS, local (with a local mail store, if desired), cross-platform, secure (with security protocols implemented) email clients that support standard features and have a reliable future? And any of those that I could give to non-technical end users? I know the names of a few, but I haven't tried them: Sylpheed, Claws, Evolution (cross-platform?), Kmail (cross-platform?), N1 by Nylon, MailPile (FLOSS?) ...

Uh ... Thanks for sharing the link as I didn't know that! Fortunately, they say they aim to be as close to the current TB as possible. So that gives me some hope. I worry that some highly individual use-cases will probably not work anymore in the future, though. For example, if they move the content of the RSS feeds into a database (They'll keep RSS feeds .. right?) my two-line bash script for automatically downloading videos from links contained in one feed wouldn't work anymore ;)
