Next Generation Mail Clients Reviewed

kreide writes "E-mail is the 'killer app' of the Internet; an enormous number of messages are exchanged every day, and while web-based mail has become very popular in recent years, many people still prefer the added speed and flexibility of a mail client application. In this review I compare the next generation of the most popular e-mail clients, including Evolution, KMail, Opera and Mozilla, and their usability in dealing with large number of messages."

next generation?!?!?!

[nazsco]

why do you call it next generation if all those still breaks text at 76 columns by default?

They may be next generation "email reader and filter" program, but the mail protocol by itself should be cold dead by now! It simply suck!

And don't came here modding me troll or saying "but it's the most widely used way to exchange messages" because then i will think you consider microsoft windows the best OS in the whole world... and i don't think you mean that :)

So, stop thinking email is usefull! You're just cheating yourself. Email is a mean necessity in those days of comodism. And those so called "next generation email programs" are just "next generation crapy email protocol workarounds"

Yes. Yes it is. :-)

Re:Outlook XP/2002? Where's Outlook 2003?

[Diplo]

Exactly - Outlook 2003 has stolen a good deal of great ideas from M2 (Opera's Mail Client) and is much better for it :)

" Why do all the open source email clients look exactly like Outlook? I've never particularily liked that view of email. Can't anyone think of anything better?"

Please entreat us, good sir! We are all ears - er, eyes!

If you are the one who doesn't like it, yet you can't come up with anything better, what makes you think that anyone else can/will?
