[wuug-list] [wuug-forum] Matt Draisey: IMAP clients suggestions?

[Xavier Spriet]

I'm personally an Evolution guy... I have it set up just the way I like,
with synchronization to my Gmail calendar through OpenSync, etc..., but
I realize it's not for everybody.
There's a good article about setting up Gmail IMAP support properly in
Thunderbird.

Evolution is my current email client and has 6 years of mail stashed away in a complex hierarchy.  My google/apps account is only a year old (when I finally got fed up of running spam filters on my own server) and all my recent mail is duplicated there but with only superficial tagging.  I don't yet know enough about imap to synchronize my mail properly and evolution's documentation is terrible
