Well, there is one email client that will do most of what Outlook Express does. XFmail. Not used alone though, but together with exim and fetchmail it works great for me. I have two accounts dealt with fine using XFmail. Using filters, and the option to set a custom "From" for every folder it is very easy to run several accounts from this email client. Using XFmail's built in POP3 and smtp is not a good idea since it won't send and receive in the background. But letting exim do the mail deliveries it is a fast reliable solution.
The sad thing is that XFmail doesn't seem to be developed anymore. So if a coder would take XFmail and bring it forward we WOULD have a decent X email client. On 22-May-99 Jim B wrote: > Hi all.
