i hope none of us sneer (tries not to).

 .muttrc  is really very rational when read in conjunction with help dox:
Mutt doesn't try to do everything for you & then fail,
but leaves you to do your part by reading the dox first & editing  .muttrc ,
then once you've taken the trouble to do that, it's very simple & reliable.

but as you say, to each his own ... (tries to make it a grin)

depends on who's using the system -- for local use like this, it doesn't
matter. If you have multiple users, you should keep the MTA to low-level

Yes I have to second that ! I have in my opinion a really high load on Emails
due to mailinglists, and I had never problems with kmail. I think I have a
current Email archiv of over 20.000 messages (I don't want delete them, often
some usefull informations are in old mail). I have used eudora und several
other clients under win and all of them failed on such a big archive. So I am

Actually it just selects the next message in the thread, using
1.0.8[3mdk]. I've never used any Evolution version pre-1.0, and I've
never seen any of the things people have been complaining about in this
thread.

I do know it's not a very good IMAP client, but this doesn't affect me
as I think IMAP is a rather sucky[1] protocol and I don't use it.

I've also had some instability in each of the Evolution modules, but
it's always been limited to that module -- I just get a little popup
stating that Contacts unexpectedly quit, or I can't view the summary
page. oaf-slay fixes it.

I will unequivocally state that the evolution-pilot conduits suck rocks,
to the point of actively being worse than having no synchronization
capability at all. Jpilot is the only way to realistically manage PalmOS
in my experience, which is a shame (Jpilot is great, but nonintegration
of your PDA with other contacts and calendar is an issue).

> The very bad handling of threads is the reason I quit using Evolution.
> 
To each his own -- I gave up using mutt because the config file was a
monolithic cruftpile on the order of sendmail.cf or procmailrc, a reason
at which mutt aficionados will only sneer. I gave up on kmail because it
would grab duplicate copies of mail from the local /var/spool/mail/user
and had zero integration with kpilot (a pile of junk in its own right at
the time). KDE fans will leap to assure me that it's all fixed now and
if it isn't I can surely rearrange my needs to meet kmail's requirements
:-)

[1] The thing I dislike about IMAP is its fundamental design and reason
for existence, which is the idea that my mail should stay on the server
and get copied to my client. If I want the mail to stay on the server,
I'll leave it there in an mbox or maildir and access it with a local
client over an encrypted tunnel. If I want it on my desktop, I want it
to get here as fast as possible and be deleted from the server because
it's no longer necessary there. This design problem leads to all the
implementation problems of IMAP: SLOWness, lack of integration with

Well, the handling of threads in Evolution sucks (to say the least); have you 
tried to delete the first mail of a thread? when you do that, the cursor 
moves to wherever it wishes (instead of positioning in the next unread 
mail).

The very bad handling of threads is the reason I quit using Evolution.

OK, this does look to be a bug.  It should be reported as such to kde.org.  I 
don't do imap anymore and when I did, it was just one account.  I run my own 
mailserver locally (and fetchmail to a pop3) so I never see problems.  I also 
never saw problems before I ran my own mailserver and simply accessed pop3 
accounts.  This is a bug to be reported rather than simply discarding kmail 
in silence - has it been reported by others?

Didn't the original poster say that he had a large number of IMAP accounts?
I have only 2 imap accounts and I find it trivial to crash kmail while it is 
communicating with the imap server.
If I make sure to let one imap operations finish before starting the next, it 
is rather stable, but if I accidentally give 2 imap operations in a row, it 
is very likely that kmail crashes.

  If you want a powerful mail client, nothing beats gnus. On the other
  hand, you *have* to learn elisp to be able to do anything meaningful
  with gnus, but...what's another scripting/programming language? :)
  There's nothing you can't do with it, as long as you know elisp :)

Hello,

[checks mail headers] You're using KMail 1.4.3 as well! I'm quite happy with 
it, and obviously it works for you as well.

If you're new from windows and dying for your Outlook Express, then use 
Ximian Evolution. I take it you wouldn't be happy with PINE (licencing 
problems anyway) or MAPLE, which are text-based. Mozilla as someone else 
suggested might suit you.

And don't even bother checking MY X-Mailer. It's Outlook Expresss 9.50.NET.

Cheers and regards,

Sylpheed is indeed a fine program, but the mandrake RPMS seem to be
build without GPGME support, so their is no sign/encrypt support.

The good news is that both sylpheed and sylpheed-claws contain a spec
file.  Ir you add the gpgme option to that, you should be in the clear.

Kind regards

Guy

Sylpheed or Sylpheed-claws are both in Mandrake.  Just do urpmi and get
ready to roll.  Only drawback may be that the documentation is primarily
in Japanese (The have English now but didn't when I first used it.) But
it is a rock solid product.

procmail can do this -- in fact people have written scripts to catch
attachments, strip them, and put them into a web page for bulk download.

[expert] Mail client question

2002-11-22 Thread Tom
I am attempting to migrate the wife from Windows to Mandrake Linux. She has a 
mail client called "News Rover" which allows her to bulk save Email 
attachments. She is subscribed to several Email lists and with this program, 
she is able to mark a block of Email and have it automatically save the 
attachments into a designated directory.

Now the question:

In all the email clients available to Linux, do any of them have the same 
sort of ability to bulk save attachments?
