I chose Thunderbird, but it's in the form of Icedove.

I chose "other" because alpine wasn't shown.

I use Thunderbird, but it's mostly because it has the best syncing calendar I've found yet.

I just use thunderbird because it's easy and I do 90% of my email from my phone so not really worth the effort to try new desktop clients :lol:

Hi reinob. Thank you for voting. Funny that you should mention Alpine. Due to the 10 item limit for the polls, I had to remove some -- Alpine was the 11th one so had to be omitted. Perhaps a limit of 15 would be better for the polls.

Icedove. I also (have to) use Outlook on my work machine and find it a pain, although it does integrate my calendar well.

Hi Chrissy.

Did you select Thunderbird (pretty much the exact same thing as Icedove) or Other in the poll?

My all time favorite is PMMail, but since I don't use OS/2 anymore...

For Linux I use Icedove, mainly because I haven't taken the time to explore other options.

If they'd port PMMail to Linux I'd actually pay money for it.

I played around with Claws, but went back to Icedove/Thunderbird. There were things I'd grown so used to in Thunderbird that Claws did differently, that I was constantly annoyed with it. Thunderbird works so well that I don't even have to think about it. Unfortunately, I have had it crash several times since the last update. It hasn't happened in about a week, Though.

I run claws-mail by default unless on low end setups where the Seamonkey suit it is by far the lightest graphical set up once you include a browser. I've found the difference between firefox and thunderbird and pure Seamonkey enormous.

I'll qualify that by saying I don't tend to run any QT applications but would be surprised if anything running QT4 > is lighter

I've found sylspheed to be the lightest stand alone gui but not much in it over claws when you don't use plugins

Question: What is your favorite Email Client?
Answer: None.

Huge bloated email clients that make many assumptions as to what I do with my emails are not for me. I remember a few times when I installed an email client but I always ended up removing it altogether. I am one who doesn't like to have my emails saved locally on my computer.

A simple email client for me would be one that mimics webmail without too many features apart from mail search, mail writing and mail viewing.
