So at work I have an IMAP (Groupwise) account. I can open, read, and send with Mozilla, Thunderbird and Kmail. When I try to add the account with Sylpheed I get a segfault. I remember problems with Sylpheed and IMAP but I left the Sylpheed list so I'll go back and investigate.
Thing is, I don't really want to use Mozilla or Kmail, and Thunderbird won't work yet as it can't send URL's to a browser.
Todd, I don't understand what you are saying here. I've been using Thunderbird from the Minotaur days, currently running a nightly build from 5/31/2003 on Windows and on Linux. After reading your message, I clicked the "Write" button and typed myself a message, containing only a URL. All my mail is set to go out in text format, and I didn't do anything to the link I typed to force it to be a hyperlink. When that message arrived, the URL was automatically hyperlinked. I clicked it and it opened up my default browser (a featured selling point of Thunderbird, that it brings up your default browser instead of always bringing up Mozilla.
Heck, here is the link I typed by hand, see if it hyperlinks for you:
http://www.2cpu.com
Note that this link is not **showing** as a hyperlink as I'm typing, but it is parsed as a hyperlink when it is received.
I've actually stopped using Evolution on Linux and use Thunderbird there now also. I use IMAP, and Thunderbird doesn't seem to have as many problems with it as Evolution. Don't mean to start a jihad - Evolution is fine product - I'll probably try again with 1.4. It is actually faster that Thunderbird. My major problem with Thunderbird is that on my old dual Pentium 233MMX, it is pretty slow.
So I tried Evolution yet again (I keep giving it a chance) and it can open and read my folders and mail, but there is no text in the summary window (no from, subject, or date, just a picture of an envelope so I know there are mail messages there). Pretty weird.
Have you seen this problem in evolution before? Or I'll be satisfied with a decent, lightweight gui IMAP mail client.
Todd
