Hmm, you can also get Emacs/Xemacs under Windows and run Gnus or VM as
your MUA.

There arent good proprietary muas for windows either, so you might as
well try the OSS ones.

Mozilla rulez for me. You can also get it to preload so it aint so
damned slow (or so i think).

As far as OSS, have you considered mozilla mail, although integrated with 
mozilla browser there's a move afoot to change that (see 
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/thunderbird/).

Another client that I know of is Mulberry (not OSS), see 
http://www.cyrusoft.com/mulberry/ ... both of these clients have the 
advantage of working on many operating systems.

OT: good open source (or other) MUAs that work under Windoze

2003-06-01 Thread Chris Evans
I don't want to start a flame war - please?

I run a small Email list server and my own mail server for some
psychotherapy charities.  I runs Debian stable and everything except
the antiviral scanner is open source, free and I'd love it all my
computing could be that way, but my mortgage paying job ties me to M$
and Windoze and for at least a decade, from before I discovered open
source, I used Pegasus as my MUA.  I now think it's past its sell by
date and that Pegasus and I must divorce so I'm looking at
alternatives.  (I'm also playing with wikis so if you want to read the
story so far, try http://www.psyctc.org/cgi-bin/wiki1.pl?HomePage)

It's suddenly occurred to me that I may be wrong to assume that there
are no good open source MUAs that run under windoze, and I thought
that this might be a good place to ask the people most likely to have
had to try them or deal with the problems that they and other MUAs
cause, so here I am asking a little OT but hoping people will point me
to things I can try.

TIA,

Chris
