Alternative E-mail Clients

Please Suggest some Alternative E-mail Clients. i tried Evolution & Thunderbird, they are very basic.

I need a client similar to Gmail's web interface or at least it should have these features.

Threaded mode: Good for reading Mailling lists
Auto completion of e-mail addresses from address book

is there any client with above said features ?
or We need to make one :twisted:

Auto Completion of email address feature is already in Thunderbird

M

mutt? or mutt-ng?

Maybe squirrelmail, with gmail like theme?

How abt Claws-Mail?
Also Opera has a mail client inbuilt.
And AFAICR it has some sort of threading capabilities.

Both doesn't suit my needs, as mutt is CLI based.
& SquirrelMail mail is web based

Both the features are already present in Thunderbird!! The auto-complete works by default.

For threaded view, configure your gmail a/c with thunderbird (I dunno if it works for pop3 but it works great for imap).

To enable thread view, goto the folder and see the last button beside the fields: subject, sender etc. The button will haf a drop down arrow on it. Click the Button > Enable thread.

Now a new field would appear in the first column, something which looks like a ladder/tree. Click it and voila! you haf the thread view.

No need to "make an email client" with these features. Mozilla has been kind enuf to do that for us

For GMail config in Thunderbird see here: *www.lifehacker.com.au/tips/2007/10/27/turn_thunderbird_into_the_ulti.html

right now in thunderbird i am getting this type of view

whereas i want Linear Mode

How can it be linear mode and yet threaded when there are so many mails? Will you not lose track of it?

The same way wile GMail web client behaves.

It hides older conversations

if you are on Linux then why not Round Cube

All mail clients suck. Mutt just sucks less.

For me, the only thing that sucks is the spam filter. Otherwise it provides a mail client with organizer too. Thats actually good than hafing 2 separate programs.

kmail-kde user should try

Definitely , I agree. It does serve my purpose so I'm happy with it although I wouldn't mind trying Thunderbird.
