Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

A good e-mail client for linux? (feddit.it)

I have been using KDE for a while, while I like many features I am looking for suggestions to the default email client:

Kmail - completely unusable for me and the only one which could maybe be integrated with kontacts, it could not receive mails from IMAP or pop or would receive only sometimes

Geary - good but too minimal, I need at least some kind of contact list and mailing lists feature, maybe this integrates with gnome contacts? I couldn't find anything in settings

I landed on Claws Mail myself. It does look a bit dated, but the UI is functional and the client works. I'm content with it.

I've been using Betterbird for a while and I like it. It's based on Thunderbird.

I've used Thunderbird since forever as my go-to client, I used mutt as well for a while and that met my needs pretty well.

Thunderbird is the usual recommendation for an email client. So try that

There is always good old Thunderbird.

According to the official fediverse account of Thunderbird, they are not going to adopt the new Firefox EULA.

Try Betterbird.

[–] Coding4Fun@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

That is the correct answer

Nothing has beat mutt so far. But that's not for everyone, naturally.

If your into Linux and a decent admin. Nothing is better than neomutt. Add not much.

Filtering and searching is faster than Google on gigs of mail.

It will take a long time to configure it well. But it's worth it. I rarely change the config.

I have been using Linux since 1992.

I can't wait to poke around neomutt when I set up my computer

[–] cohete@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

You can use on windows or vm
