Jesse Keating: I am never happy:
Thunderbird
Pros:
– select quoting (with an extension)

Jesse, I did try a bunch of extensions (Quick Reply Extension and TB Reset Quote Header Extension), and none of them get it “right” like Evolution does. Have you had much other luck?

I’ve been using Thunderbird for about six months now, and personally I think Evolution is a lot more mature, even though it comes with its own set of problems. Now the question is, when will Evolution be cross-platform, and make it a true winner (seeing that it has calendering, Palm synchronization, and much more)?

Fedora’s shipping Mono. RHEL5 is likely to ship Mono. When’s Evolution going to be written in C#?

    C# is not a solution, it’s a tool. Evolution won’t be better because of rewriting in C#, but it would be better because of rewriting itself. E.g. Kontact with Kmail (and the other parts like KOrganizer, KPilot, KNode and KAddressbook and Kopete interworking) has no C# below, still, it’s fast, stable and usable. I’m not saying it’s better or worse than thbird of evolution, I’m saying you don’t need C# to write stable software. Anyway, as you could guessed I’m not a big fan of C#/mono in Linux, and if a linux DE would move on C# dev., I’d just turn some other way.

    I also use thunderbird btw, since about it’s first releases, mainly because I can use the same mail folders on a shared partition from under win and linux.

    No, I haven’t had luck with it. I wound up going back to Evo…
