Don't forget to let us know what your "other" program is if you use a different one from the ones listed.

(I can't vote)

I voted other, since my favourite email program is Kmail.

I am a mutt user, but if I used a GUI mail client, it definitly would be kmail

kontact/kmail

Obviously a glaring omission on our part. Apologies

Gnus.

What about seamonkey and claws-mail?

I use thunderbird because evolution is too Outlookish. I am not sure why we need to copy Look & Feel of M$ products.

BTW: How do I bottom post in Evolution?

I also use mutt quite often, but claws-mail is definitely the favourite.

sylpheed

I like Sylpheed-Claws. My second choice is of course Thunderbird (if only Thunderbird and Firefox could PRINT PROPERLY!!!)

I use mutt and kmail depending on whether I'm running X or curses

Hello,

Goodness me... nobody uses Pine anymore...?!?
Oh well, never mind! I wouldn't have thought that was the case.
I guess the word has moved on...

Merc.

May sound stupid,
but having SquirrelMail on my home server
realy made my live simple and save

Access anywhere, through any browser, and keep all your settings and filters? It has to be a winner :)

While I voted for Kmail as it is what I currently use I am considering switching to something else, not sure if it will be Evolution, Thunderbird or build my own LAMP based system - guess that would be tinkermail then :D

Evolution, helps me keep my Calender and tasks to.
Would not know if it looks like Outlook because I don't use it.

Outlook Express. It does more than any 'nix version or thunderbird. Also it combines with a newsreader which I like - mozilla never got this right.

Is the poll closed? I don't see any place where to vote. Thanks.

Firefox running Gmail is my choice. I haven't tried many desktop clients (only Thunderbird once) and they would probably work more fluently in some areas, however Gmail has a lot that email clients couldn't offer. Running it on 2 PC's and 3 OS's Gmail is always the same on all of them.

I hope I will find a client that will support server side organization of my messages (labels, stars etc. on Gmail) and will feature what I miss now -- good (kde) desktop integration and ideally interaction with something like Google Talk as well.

...when it was the only one I found that reliably synchronised calendar, contacts and tasks with my old PalmPilot PDA. Right now others do this as well. But while the Thunderbird project has my big sympathy for being the most well-known free software mail client, I'll neither use nor advocate it as long as the Mozilla Corporation has this ghastly attitude of judging theoretical security attacks to be more important than users losing their mails for more than one month. See
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=360409

I've used most of the others at one time or another, but I'm happiest with this one at the moment

By far I use Gmail+Opera Browser Email (not Opera mail!)

I know this sounds lame, but I use Opera's built in mail client.

Sylpheed Claws changed its name to Claws Mail in early December with version 2.6.1. Of course sylpheed claws was a fork of sylpheed in the first place.

thunderbird

Wow... no Pine love. :'( I've always loved Pine's interface, and if I were to switch from Gmail back to an email client, I'd go back to Pine in a heartbeat.

Heathens. :-)

Of course.

I just like it. :)

I would have preferred to vote for Kontact as I only use KMail through Kontact.

I've used Opera web browser for years and Opera mail for a couple of years. I think more people should give them a try.

Sylpheed. No other comment.

Kmail. I prefer KDE to Gnome particularly because everything is so well integrated. I use Kontact for work: Calendar, Contacts, Email and RSS all in one package. Works well with Konqueror for web-browsing.

I use:

1. Gnome/Evolution
2. Firefox/Gmail
3. Emacs/gnus
4. cat /var/spool/mail/jackson

In that order. It's kind of lot of work to set up gnus right. Or else I would only use that. Emacs is the only OS you realy need :)

Apple Mail since I'm still using OS X - one day, Linux but today Apple.

E

Other - I'm using balsa.

I use Thunderbird for my desktop email application, although I do find myself using Gmail more often.

It's free as in beer ... but such beer!

Oh -- and on Linux, Evolution.

And when I'm travelling, Squirrelmail.

I personally use Mutt-ng and I don't think I'll ever use anything else.

These are the clients I mostly use. Since I am an opera user for a long time, it just make sense to use this mail client. I like that is really fast since it uses SQLite as the engine.

I changed from Thunderbird to Kmail a couple of months ago. Although it's not as friendly as Thunderbird when it comes to html formatting outgoing messages, it has several other advantages for me. The main one is that it is integrated into the Kontact suite. It's nice having my email (Kontact), usenet (Knode), RSS feeds (Akregator), calendar & alarms, address book, to-do's & several other modules all contained in the one program.

I also like the way it auto-detects & integrates Spamassassin, Bogofilter & Clam-AV.
