Mutt grows old and still doesn't do threads the way i want. i've tried sup, but find it too early in development. Especcially it is unusable slow.
Can somone recommend another MUA?

I've used about all of them from plain mailx to Thunderbird with all the bells and whistles. It is really a find one you like issue. As long as you aren't one of the nutballs that likes to compile C programs from within your mail reader, then any of the current generation mailers will do. I always hated kmail, but when I was doing the kde 4.3 beta stuff I forced myself to use it for purposes of testing kontact and korganizer with groupware integration -- and against my will, it really grew on me. All opinion aside, there are some excellent technical features built in to kmail that I haven't found anywere else. Thunderbird - used it for years, still maintain a "master copy" of important emails in it, but I hate to admit it -- kmail has it beat in UI efficiency. I've just used evolution a couple of times, so I don't know enough to comment on it. I have it configured in my gnome desktop under my theory of (use the native tools - dummy), but I just can't tell you more right now. Alpine - if you are working from the cli works great, full featured and supports gpg encryption. Until I figured out relay hosts in postfix, I used pine/alpine all the time for email when I was connecting from outside my ISP's network. There are a lot of good packages out there, you just have to find the one that fits your tastes and needs. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
