What are the good alternatives for a lightweight IMAP email client? Outlook is pudgy and wants Exchange too badly.
- jeltz 14y agoThere is Evolution that is worth taking a look at. But it was buggy and had problems with large mailboxes last time I used it (2 years ago?).
- cookiecaper 14y agoEven Ubuntu, which replaced Pidgin with the very inferior Empathy so they could be more "Gnomey", gave up on Evolution. I don't know that there's too much hope left for that one.
- jeltz 14y agoIt was very promising at first. A simple no-nonsense IMAP client. But the buggyness is what killed it for me.
- hub_ 14y agoThunderbird. If you like how it is now, it is not gonna stop. Folks, remember, the source code will be here, community contributor will still exist and contribute, etc.
- andrewbinstock 14y agoDrat, the best of the bunch was Eudora. But when Qualcomm abandoned it and turned it over to Mozilla, it became a lost child, stranded between its former self and Thunderbird. That Eudora and now Thunderbird should be end-of-lifed makes for very few good free options.
- rlpb 14y agoMulberry (https://www.mulberrymail.com/ https://www.mulberrymail.com/) is, IMHO, the best IMAP client ever written, but from an IMAP perspective (and not necessarily a GUI perspective). I gave up on Thunderbird when it started to demand most of my system memory. I switched back to mutt.
