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
