Re: GUI Email program
I know you said you wanted a GUI email program, but you should really try mutt. It takes a few hours to learn, and you'll probably need to get some sort of fetchmail setup working (although I hear mutt can get POP3 mail on its own). I've tried a number of other email tools, both GUI and text, and I just keep coming back to mutt. -- Dwayne C. Litzenberger - [EMAIL PROTECTED] pgpIKFAANOr07.pgp Description: PGP signature

Not really. The Debian website doesn't index all the mail I get, and grep is a pain for checking whether multiple words are in the same file, but on different lines. (Or in the same message, where there are multiple messages in a file.) freewais is great, because it can index my mail, howtos, man pages, etc and I can search for one thing and check where it comes up among all those sources. It does relevance calculations and uses soundex, so I can misspell something and still get meaningful output. (As for putting them where mutt can't find them, I don't know what problems mutt has on large folders, so I can't address it. I put my archives where Gnus can find them (because it's been known to be useful) but where I don't read them all the time. -- Alan Shutko [EMAIL PROTECTED] - In a variety of flavors!

I've just recently re-subscribed to the list and I'm waiting until I finish finals to re-implement auto-deletion. Probably the mailbox size will stabilize in the 5-10 MB range.

Re: GUI Email program
I tried Balsa, but it crashed all the time. I took a look at evolution, but when the 2nd thing I tried to do (set up a weekly appointment that didn't start today) didn't work I decided it still needed some work. I use mutt, but I wouldn't call it a GUI client. I think it has scoring, though I haven't tried to make it work. Since mutt is based on the file system, groups with lots of mail tend to overwhelm it--opening, closing, and sorting the boxes gets sluggish. I've been meaning to luck into something with a real database store, but for now I've just been cutting large mail files in two and compressing the early part.

Back in the 1900s, it was said that no application was feature-complete until you could read email with it (someone's law - don't remember who's). It looks like the 21 century corollary is that no application is complete until the email portion also functions as a calendar tool. :-)
