Xubuntu, default Email Client

[racoq]

I discovered Claws Mail (http://www.claws-mail.org/), its a very fast and full featured email client, for low end machines. I find it very light weight, and it eats half resources than thunderbird. Since in Xubuntu we want performance, and we want it to run on low end machines, i encourage you all to try claws email and them answer which email client should be the default one in next Xubuntu release. I vote for Claws Mail

Yup, seems like a much more logical choice.

Why can't mutt be bundled with Xubuntu?

[racoq]

Yes it can, but its a command line email client (we have pine), that's fine by me if the Xubuntu crew feels that way. However we are discussing here the possible replacement of thunderbird, with an lighter graphical approach.

First, we don't have pine because of it's license. It's not even in the repo's.

Second, you are limiting the discussion to only GUI's. Mutt is just as full featured as sylpheed-claws or thunderbird and is much lighter on resources then both of them.

We discussed this in the development mailing lists, I'm not even entirely sure we have come to a complete agreement of what will be included in Feisty just yet but if I remember correctly, both are being managed upstream so if we decide on over the other at a later time, inclusion will be easy.

he is taking votes for which GUI email client to use.

you know what he means, you are just giving him a hard time.

I guess I missed the part where it said GUI only. Maybe you can point me to it. I'm just adding my opinion that I think mutt is a better choice then claws or thunderbird. I really don't see the harm in that. I guess my opinion it not wanted. I didn't mean to offend you.
