Re: newbie: balsa, filtering, sieve

That what slightly bothers me as well. Despite all effort none
of the MUA seems flawless. I cannot puck one myself, and
still use
Netscape 4.75 (one problem - it does not handle multiple IMAP+ POP
accounts)

I would like to use balsa as my MUA.  Of course, I need filtering.

I don't use cyrus, and wouldn't particularly want to bang my head against
it.  I just want a fast, stable and no worries e-mail client.

Netscape 4.75 was fine, but I installed 6 and I wouldn't like using 4.75
for mail and 6 for browsing.

Netscape 6 si disapointingly slow and buggy at handling mail.

Coulnd't compile Evolution.  Didn't put a lot of effort to it anyway, but
I might.  And some people say it's not very stable yet.
 

0.8 looks not bad, and there are RPMS, but I don't know what distro you
are running.  However it launches mailreader together with Calender
and something else, which may be overkill just to check your mail

I liked it, but it does not handle IMAP yet :(

 
Balsa doesn't have filters.  I kind of like it, though.

Chronos II is next to try, if I'm still in the mood.
 

You can also try Mahogany, but it seems slow on IMAP handling

 
I use a pop3 server and remote smtp.

So, how do I do it with balsa+sieve?
