I, personally, cannot live without a 3-pane view of folders, messages, and the message I'm viewing. I end up using Evolution for my mail, which is kind of like using a sledgehammer to drive a nail. Before that, I used Sylpheed, but I cut my teeth on Netscape mail (2.x, 3.x, 4.x). I got rid of that when Mozilla started to be a better browser, but didn't yet have decent mail capabilities. I'd like to use IMAP for mobility purposes, but I've never been able to configure it properly (and I had trouble when having two systems accessing an IMAP mailbox simultaneously, even if one client is just sitting there -- but that was years ago, so maybe that was just a bug). However, I can get acceptable remote accesss performance when using appropriate X11 protocol caching/compression software (actually, `ssh -C' is all I need these days), as long as I don't have to deal with a lot of mail. -- _ _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ ___ _ _ __ I used to get high on life / \/ \(_)| ' // ._\ / - \(_)/ ./| ' /(__ but lately I've built up a \_||_/|_||_|_\\___/ \_-_/|_|\__\|_|_\ __) resistance.
