Dear Friends,
The Mozilla Thunderbird email client really rocks. I downloaded the windows as well as the linux version and both install and work fine.
The win version directly imported all my settings, mail and addresses from OE. It is a tough competition for OE in terms of features (security issues aside).
The linux version does not import from other than mozilla. It does not recognise evolution. But there were 2 important features that this has and were lacking in evolution. One was that there was no clipboard interface (copy/cut/paste) in the messages in evolution so messages could not be transferred to other text editors but it is full functional in thunderbird. Another is *****It Prints***** messages. It needed a little tweak and print quality is not so good, but atleast now I can get hard copies.

It only works with a POP/IMAP server and does not support reading inbox from /var/[spool/]mail/philip so I cannot use it. It also does not support dynamic signatures.
Both these features are supported by pine. You'd think that a modern email client would at least be able to match the feature set of one that's been around for almost 20 years. :P

how come mandrake10 doesnt even have pine on the cds? Had to download the source and compile it!
I was using windows/OE till March 2003 and since then have been using Kmail. I have found it to be a much superior product to OE . I had tried evolution in the beginning but found it to be slow.

pine is not free software, since modified pine code or binaries cannot be distributed. please use mutt, which has more features than pine is a free software.

Although mutt still doesn't support dynamic signatures directly. You've got to use a vi macro and vi as your editor to achieve that (emacs works too). However, this solution won't let your sig figure out context from the reply role.
PS: no sigs in my mails from bombay since I can't get fortune to work on FC2.

mutt supports dynamics signatures excellently. It accepts output of a command as a signature. So you can pipe fortune's output or output of custom script in your favorite language.

Also by other "hooks", like by sender/recipient, etc. Short answer: yes.

I have migrated from a windows environment so I only know GUI based pop/imap/smtp clients. Thunderbird is very good for my clients who I want to migrate into linux. What I found very nice about it is that apart from copy/paste into other text editors and good quality print facility, it also gives individual mail box groups for diffrent accounts, so all incoming, sent, drafts and templates reside in their seperate account folders instead of all in the global folders. OE has a 'message rules' option but thats only for incoming mails. And like OE, there is support for multiple smtps. There are new security features too like not opening images and junk mail filtering etc...
This goes to show that well written programs will be the key to simplify linux and pull more and more users towards it. Evolution was a compromise and a disappointment, but thunderbird made up for that.

Rony.

That behavior can be changed either ways, separate or global folders. I dont like the idea of separate folders since i extract emails from 6 servers. Scrolling between folders is tedious.

But thunderbird cannot use local sendmail binary. You must connect to smtp server via port 25.

Evolution is not a disappointment at all. Its meant to be used more as a PIM application rather than just a mail client. Evolution integrates well with the gnome date-time applet to give reminders. Even KMail is on par with Evolution... or maybe even better.

That is true. Evolution is somewhat like Outlook, and Thunderbird is like Outlook Express. However, I could not get evolution to do any copy/paste or print, something that is a very basic function expected.
For those customers who receive mails directly on their email clients through pop/smtp, thunderbird seems to be a good option. You can receive all mails at once in independent folders by selecting the 'get all new messages' suboption in 'get mail'. Those who are using dedicated mail servers in their companies will definately prefer the ones you, Philip and others have mentioned.

For copying text in evolution, click on the "Edit" menu on menubar and click on copy. then go to another application and click on paste.

Thanks. I tried it out. It is not present in the message window, it is outside in the main messages list. It copies/pastes the entire message in source code. There is no facility to highlight individual text in the message window and copy/paste it. Thunderbird can do that too, for eg. Here is a copy/paste of only your text selected from your reply.....

In evolution I would have to copy/paste the entire message in source code and manually delete the unwanted lines and text.

Anurag, How did you realise that I can fix evolution problems? Since I visit clients, I do take a feedback and update the appropriate team members with feature requrest and bugs. I guess everyone of us on this list is capable of doing that. It does take a long time for them to be visible in the next versions, but they do happen. Be patient and keep posting your requests/bugs on bugzilla or myself (only if you dont know to use bugzilla).

It perfectly supports reading from /var/spool/username. When you are adding an account, you have to choose the radio button "Movemail". I use fetchmail to get my messages from my pop3 mail account & then read them via thunderbird.

Yes, I wish thunderbird supported the option of using a shell/perl script output as my signature like mutt does.
I tried tagzilla, but thunderbird refused to start after installing it, so I had to empty the extensions directory in .thunderbird after which things were back to normal.

From the main thunderbird window, Edit -> Account Settings -> Add Account
Then choose Movemail as the type of account. Update your email id in the next dialog box. That should do it.
