Chasing the Minotaur: a new email client

[sbisson]

I've been on a quest for many years: for the perfect email client. Recently I've settled on using Mozilla as my main email tool - but that entails having the bloat of the rest of the browser, when I'd rather be using Phoenix or IE, or Safari or Camino.

But it looks like the wait may soon be over, at least according a post on the Mozilla blog, Blogzilla - Minotaur is approaching it's first public alpha release. A seperate email client, based on Mozilla's mail code, it's intended to be cross platform and with a consistant mail focused UI.

I'm looking forward to it.

For reasons that I can't quite put my finger on, I'm not sold on IMAP. Maybe it was because I couldn't find a client I was happy with.

That doesn't mean it's not a good idea, just for some reason it didn't work for me.

Maybe a re-investigation is in order.

As noted elsewhere and thanks to Simon's excellent arguing for, I am once again looking at IMAP.

Now I just need to get my head around Sieve as my main IMAP server is running Cyrus.

I may be sometime.
