Re: Lightweight Email Client
How lightweight do you want? I usually just use telnet for sending/receiving email on my laptop. Or a step up from that would be Mutt or Pine which are both command line clients. If you want something with a GUI though, Sylpheed is good.

Telstra's Ubuntu Repos
Hi All. I've recently setup Telstra's Next G Wireless Broadband with my Asus Eee PC 701SD and it's working a treat (This is my travel setup). I'm having trouble getting Telstra's Ubuntu Repos setup correctly in my sources.list file though. Would someone using Telstra's Ubuntu Repos be able to post their /etc/apt/sources.list file so I can see where I'm going wrong? Thanks.

Lightweight Email Client
Hi All. Can anyone recommend a lightweight email client that I can use with my EEE PC running Ubuntu 8.10 and Ubuntu NBR? Evolution is too bulky and Thunderbird doesn't play well with the NBR interface. I'm after something with a really simple user interface. Thanks.

I am in an area where I can only get Satellite or a HSDPA service. I went with Optus. I wouldn't recommend them to others. I am not sure what satelite services you are looking at, but generally the latency is so bad voip isn't an option. I am not a big fan of Telstra, but they do have the best HSDPA network in the country - by a country mile :) When I looked at it a sat service with decent speed and quota was as expensive if not more expensive than Telstra's Next G products. Their wifi router is pretty decent too, we used one at StixCampNewstead a few weeks back and there were no complaints from the 50 or so geeks there. VoIP works well over the next G network too Don't just reject an option cos there is the orange T on the box :) Cheers Dave -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
