[opensuse] decent suse users list viewer on the web
Hello: Since I started to post/read suse users list I always checked new messages on the list's website. I only login to my webmail to write mails and search for specific mails. I don't read mailing list messages in it. I read all mailing list messages at their web sites/archives. It is very inconvenient to use the webmail for reading mails. And I don't want to install local mail clients, because I read the messages from several locations. Unfortunately the new suse-users mailing list website is almost useless for me. Especially in contrast the old mailing list website which was the best one among mailing archive websites. Can someone please suggest an archive site which shows opensuse users list mails in threaded mode with previous/next message links as all conventional mail archive sites do? Thanks, Istvan

You are aware of IMAP? "IMAP was designed with the goal of permitting complete management of an email box by multiple email clients, therefore clients generally leave messages on the server until the user explicitly deletes them." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Message_Access_Protocol Peter

s/website/archive/ but that is about semantics. Yes, for the very few people who used the archives that way, the migration to mailman3 does not work very well.

gmane is the first one that comes to mind. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (7.1°C)

Agreed. But that's beside the point. Many people do and there's no dissuading them. I suppose it makes sense for people that don't have a computer and aren't particularly IT-literate. Well, OK, there was this time in Ealing ...

I'm sorry, that makes no sense. Peter correctly points out that using IMAP means you read with a local mail client but don't have to download. How is this different from reading using a website? You don't download when reading using a browser either. I use IMAP to access over 20 different sites, some of them mailing lists. One of them is even GMail. Some people think you can't access GMail using IMAP but you can: There is a server at imap.gmail.com that you can access at port 993. You do need an Gmail account for the credentials to login. I use Thunderbird because it is a versatile reader, pleasing layout, has many plug-ins and also allows for me to access feeds and newsgroups seamlessly. The downside is that it doesn't run on my phone. -- “Reality is so complex, we must move away from dogma, whether it’s conspiracy theories or free-market,” -- James Glattfelder. http://jth.ch/jbg

Some people find it convenient and can not be convinced of installing a proper mail client. They find gmail website easier. No installation, no configuration. Go visiting, borrow a computer and use the mail exactly as at home. Leave no local files. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)

Or your ISP screws up their RBL blocking and all your posts from the lists get blocked. Reading from the web-interface for the mailing list may be the only way to go.
