[thelist] Linux Email Clients

[Chris Johnston]

The email client that I have been using in Mandrake Linux is Evolution
1.0.2. It is basically an Outlook clone and has many of the same
features as outlook - Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, and can sync with my
palm. It also allows for threaded view on a per folder basis. One cool
thing that is hard to find in Linux based email is that fact that it can
handle html email. (hey, I like receiving my daily Dilbert fix in the
morning.)

One other thing that Evolution can handle is secure smtp servers. It
also has a spell checker.

If you are running Mandrake 8.1 and have installed Gnome, then you may
have an older version of this mail client installed on your computer. If
you would like to update it then held on over to www.pclinuxonline.com
and follow the links and grab the rpms from there. Or just upgrade to
Mandrake 8.2 and get Evolution 1.0.2.

Anyway, just my opinion and experience.

The feature that I found most usefull, especially with Evolt messages, was that it gave options of collapsing the threads (very neat). I was wondering what other Linux clients are in popular use? Which ones do you recommend? Are there any Windows clients that have this same functionality?
