*** User Interface/client
|
|
||||||
Webmail clients are nice and all, but I still don't believe that SPAs in my
|
|
||||||
browser can replaced desktop apps ... sorry Gmail. I'm also liking google less
|
|
||||||
and less.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Mailspring is a decent desktop client, quite lightweight for electron
|
|
||||||
(apparently the backend is in =C=, which probably helps), however I miss Emacs
|
|
||||||
stuff.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
While =Notmuch= seems very promising, and I've heard good things about it, it
|
|
||||||
doesn't seem to make any changes to the emails themselves. All data is stored in
|
|
||||||
Notmuch's database. While this is a very interesting model, occasionally I need
|
|
||||||
to pull up an email on say my phone, and so not I want the tagging/folders etc.
|
|
||||||
to be applied to the mail itself --- not stored in a database.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
On the other hand =Mu4e= is also talked about a lot in positive terms, and seems
|
|
||||||
to possess a similarly strong feature set --- and modifies the mail itself (I.e.
|
|
||||||
information is accessible without the database). =Mu4e= also seems to have a large
|
|
||||||
user base, which tends to correlate with better support and attention.
