Right, but I was looking for a GUI, and I quite like KMail's indexing mechanism. > then > you're left with the usual options (kmail et al) which in > turn depend on X11 and KDE/GNOME/.... unless of course > you can suggest one that we should look at. I went through all of them after migrating to Mac: a) X11 + KDE were not stable. The 'kdepim3' package (which houses KMail and all that) kept crashing. It was not stable at all. b) KDE-MAC looked (and looks) very promising, but it also had several bugs that were still a work-in-progress. Granted, you were warned that it "really wasn't ready". It was basically unstable too, but I'd keep my eye on it: http://ranger.users.finkproject.org/kde/index.php/Home The thing I liked with KDE-MAC was that you don't need to have a running X11 server. KDE-MAC runs like any other package within Mac OS X. > Mail.app is nice, but without maildir support,... That killed it for me immediately. I need Maildir support because I'm dealing with dozens of Maildir folders that come to a little over 100,000 in messages (my e-mails date back quite a bit...). > GNUMail.app <http://www.collaboration-world.com/gnumail/ > > looks promising but still has a few rough edges. Looked at this one also, but wasn't quite what I needed. The thing is I was coming from a Linux environment, where I did all my e-mailing on KMail. Having spent nearly 5 weeks on setting up a reliable e-mail solution on my MacBook, I can honestly say there aren't many free mailers that offer the depth of features you get with KMail, out-of-the-box. Cheers, Mark.
