I'm too old for that, now I stick with whatever version comes with the distro. However mulberry manages quite well with my current version of cyrus, *however* I don't use it. Why? Because mozilla is "good enough" and where I'd need mulberry paradigm is on the tablet, not on the desktop (where I have megabytes to spare for the cache and the initial sync is not as painful). When I finally flash diablo I take a look at telomer. > > >> The right direction would be a guy like Dave together with me writing a >> nice Tinymail-API like library, and the guys who wrote Modest adapting >> that UI to use that. >> >> Who knows, some day? ;-) >> >> > But sadly, probably never. I see Luca's complaining about Polymer being I was not actually complaining, but I found it strange not to have basic options like sorting and threading (since I'm an asocial geek ;-), the bulk of my messages are from mailing list, so threading is vital). Again, mulberry manages threading fine with my version of the server (though my tiny server is an arm processor not much more powerful than the tablet, so threading is slow, but not due to network latency/bandwith usage). > "too basic" - which makes me giggle a bit - but that's because Polymer > essentially won't offer anything in the UI unless it can do so quickly > and effectively.

I'll see if it's enough for me.
