Just throw in my experiences here: I was used to kmail for several years
but as this does not work on windows I slowly switched to thunderbird.
The last month I almost completely switched to thunderbird on Linux as
well. Kmail is a little bit faster and has some mail functions (like
sieve configuration) and is little better on shortcut but calendar and
address book integration is better
Yes, the integration in Kontact does make life easier :-)
For folder based Identity I installed a plugin called folder_account
which implements the missing feature.
A friend pointed that out to me today - it sounds good. I'll take a look at
it.
Currently I only miss the possibility to set account specific
language.
As I rely on a plugin for my PIM Server (SOGo) I have to use Thunderbird
revision 3 and it is really sad that fedora switched to the new fast
switching mozilla strategy (which is a wrong decision in my humble
opinion). So I have to patch and recompile fedora 14 version of
Thunderbird 3 by myself. Sogo will switch to the new thunderbird stuff
with the long term versions end of january.
I reinstalled Thunderbird, but this version (8.0.2) seems to have problems
with OpenPGP. I have encrypted mail that I can't read in it.
I tried the official thunderbird version but I had several problems
in
opening attachments (I have to select programs first instead of
thunderbird looking up the configured programs). For me this is not a
major problem (it is annoying) but for others in my family it is hard to
know that the program for opening MS-word files is called oowriter (or
what ever) and located in /usr/bin.
Well, I guess we keep our options open. Everything feels such a struggle
these days.
