Those who use E-Mail clients, do you mind the harddrive space it takes up?
Just curious...I was wondering if it was worth using something like Sparrow for email as opposed to just the Gmail client or if there is some real benefit to having email stored locally.
I was wondering if you all felt that if there could be a similar experience if I just used sparrow to only view email but not store it locally.
I primarily use gmail but I don't know if worth even trying to honestly keep local access to emails on my computer.
- gcb 14y agoNo. just use fetchmail and mailindex(?), otherwise hd access speed will be a pain
- BlackNapoleon 14y agoI was thinking about using sparrow just to access the mail but not save it locally...is that what you mean?
- gcb 14y agoNoidea what's sparrow. Fetchmail will download it procmail will organize it Mailindex will make it searchable Then any client that supports mbox format will display it
