Re: Been Away

Yeah, I have been keeping track of those Gnome softs... And as Balsa being
the official e-mail client I am wondering guys like Miguel accept the
development going on soooo slowly. I mean, It is nice to have everything in
Gnome-libs and Gnome-core running, but they should push everything
further...
As you say, Balsa seems DEAD. Look at the web page and you are convinced of
it.
Concerning M, it is the same... Is it gnome ? Email client not wished ??? Oh
well, it pisses me off too because I don't want to install Kmail and the Kde
libs just to have a decent email soft working...
Please guys, start working... Or, at least, let other do the job !

PS: sorry, this was my stupid contribution... But email and news are the two
areas I find Linux is way too bad compared to windows... Unfortunately,
things can't change when guys in the irc channels say ... Hey I find pine is
beautifull or, telnet mailserver port 25 is ok ... Just immagine the feeling
I get when I need to start windows to use that nice outlook express... shit.
The VMWare tool solves part of the proglem though...
