Email Clients

 * Claws Mail
 * positives:
 * lets you edit "from" address on outgoing mail
 * negatives:
 * items moved from Inbox don't disappear; they just turn blue. (This may be a config error, but there's no clue how to fix it.)
 * can't send email; dialog box says "Could not queue message for sending." No further explanation. Tried reconfiguring SMTP, but there's no indication of whether messages are using the new or old configuration.
 * no "test" buttons to verify that server parameters are correct
 * Evolution
 * negatives:
 * doesn't separate incoming accounts, outgoing accounts, and identities very well
 * doesn't let you edit your "from" address on outgoing mail
 * positives:
 * does let you sort messages by when-received (which it also displays)
 * KMail
 * positives:
 * separates server information into incoming, outgoing, and identities
 * auto-detects server security settings (SSL etc.)
 * Sylpheed
 * negatives:
 * won't let you edit (much less modify) account prefs while composing an email
 * save-to-draft and save-to-outbox not working; dialog pops up, says can't save, no further explanation
 * won't tell me where these folders are or let me change them
 * search filter not smart enough to include emails TO x; only includes FROM or SUBJECT
 * doesn't let you edit your "from" address on outgoing mail
 * Thunderbird
