Re: [orca-list] Evolution or Thunderbird

[Dave Hunt <ka1cey gmail com>]

If you're seeing recommendations of Evolution, you're reading old stuff, 
in deed.  I'd say it hasn't been usable since Gnome 2.32 and the 
x-desktop version of orca.  If you want a gui mail client, Thunderbird 
will serve you a lot better, these days, though it's a little short of 
perfect.  Text clients, like Mutt and Alpine, are also options.  I find 
that Alpine, Gnome Terminal, and Orca are a decent team; others prefer 
Mutt.



Cheers,



Dave
