The state of gui linux email clients has been abysmal for years. My primary usage mode is across multiple imap accounts with a decade of email and probably 15Gb total..
Evolution - imo bloated, painful, and abandoned.
Thunderbird - Less bloat, but not really progressing.
Opera's m2 email client was probably the best i could find for significant volume though closed source.
The cli clients are significantly better mutt + notmuch, and sup were my favorites.
I finally just went down the gmail road..
Beauty and features are great, usability at volume is even better. Good luck to yorba folks.
- ams6110 14y agoI use notmuch with emacs, and love it. Can't really imagine using a GUI for email.
- jff 14y agoI use notmuch with Emacs in an X window. It'll display image attachments and give me clickable HTTP links, which is great. If X forwarding isn't an option, I can always just fire up an ssh session and read it in emacs -nw.
- tammer 14y agoI could imagine it, but its 100% keyboard driven and seamlessly uses an external editor. Basically, muttator without bugs.
- nonamegiven 14y agoI'd like an email client that I can recommend to my stereotypical mom without reservation, and that means a gui on top of solid functionality.
