[PLUG] Mail Client Recommendation; or Unnecessary Deprecation Bites

[Jeme A Brelin]

So, does anyone in the world care about new technology in non-web-based 
email clients?

In my experience, people either use webmail of their choice (and envy 
gmail's technology while bitching about its creepiness) or are hopelessly 
tied to some old client they started using fifteen years ago (*raises 
hand*).

Who's doing the hotstuff email client these days?  I want near-magical 
threading (like keeping threads together no matter what foreign clients 
might have done to munge the headers), automatic address-booking of every 
address I type, and I require it to speak to a couple of mail servers and 
allow me to choose from a number of accounts for each message composition, 
reply, forward, or bounce.  I wouldn't mind something that has calendar 
integration -- especially if it links to some database or service that I 
can run for updating and checking my calendar via the web and automating 
calendar-linked processes (like texting myself when I have an 
appointment).

I've been using Pine forever.  I tried using mutt and got nowhere with it 
because the benefits (proper freedom) were not totally effective at 
motivating me to tackle the .muttrc and make it handle my various roles 
properly.

I am currently using Sylpheed for my school IMAP account, but I don't like 
it much and it seems relatively feature-free.

Whatever you've got, I'll read.
