I am looking for a full featured X mail user agent. I've looked at
several and they each appear either very basic and lacking in features
or extremely early in its development life and bug ridden.
I am running Slakware3.0. It has xmh which is not functional since
the mh package it is based on is not present. Is mh available in a
ready to run package for Slakware3.0? I can't find it on sunsite.
I've tried XF-Mail. It's got a lot of promise but I can't recommend
it for use by my coworkers yet. That bug (in XForms?) when composing
mail and the work-around confuses users.
I've looked at a few others but they aren't worth mentioning.
What's needed:
- X based; I don't care what widget set but it should look and
behave well.
- MIME support. (Embedded attachments instead of spawning external
viewers would be nice. :)
- No restrictiona on government/corporate use.
What's wanted:
- Uses "standard" unix mail files for folders. I've seen the way mh
and XF-Mail store messages but, particularly with XF-Mail, then
you can't fall back on the unix mail program when you have no X
environment.
Am I dreaming? Are there any good mail user agents out there? I'd
apreciate pointers to your favorite.
