I wonder if anyone might offer advice about the way forward with mail client choice to satisfy a set of needs?
I too use TB for similar reasons to you - our choices sadly are pretty limited. Basically the 2 UI's in play are kde and gnome so ... we have:
a) kmail. pros: basically works. drawbacks: Its fragile (kde, akrofarti, nimrod etc). Refuses to recognize that composing html is important.
b) evolution - probably the only real alternative. cons: clunky UI - prone to crashing a lot. pros: supports in encryption, calendars, maildir++.
c) a few scattered low key players.
d) TB. pros: generally works ok. cons: slow and built on ancient decaying software framework - should be written from ground up. gpg may not be supported. Devs are obsessed with strange choices (gloda). Ok so .. this is what we're trying to replace ;-) ;-)
e) None of the above - but what ?
