Mailinglist Archive: opensuse (2831 mails)

[Jerry Feldman <gaf@xxxxxxx>]

I just counted over 25,000 email messages on my home system. All the emails 
are in MH format (I used exmh a number of years ago). My email client is 
sylpheed-claws. It is relatively stable. My email is kept in hierachial 
folders, and although I subscribe to a number of email lists, like this, I 
generally do not save the emails since I can always go to the archives. I 
use procmail recipes to filter emails into various folders leaving the 
inbox open for a small number of emails and unlearned SPAM. I run postfix 
as my MTA with port 25 open in my firewall. I also use fetchmail to grab 
email from my ISP. While I have had some crashes with sylpheed-claws, it 
has held up very well in contrast to KMail that I use at work, although I 
do find KMail to be excellent also. One caveat about sylpheed-claws is that 
it does not have the capability to create html. It can read html emails 
using either dillo or gtk2 plugins. I generally build from sources, but 
RPMs are available. Additionally, claws has the ability to add actions, 
which can be simple scripts. It is a good light-weight client for both 
Linux and Windows and uses the GTK2 libraries.
