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.

I think you're slightly under-estimating end users here - and the evolution of ISP technologies.

For one thing, web mail services like Hotmail are already showing people that their mail can be left on servers, and that attachments can be downloaded at leisure.

This is true, in part - but I have users who have great difficulty in mastering such things, too.
