Föderation EN Fr 21.06.2024 21:24:12 Since I was told Geary is apparently no longer actively maintained and not a GNOME app, and I tend to find Evolution a bit overkill... Does #GNOME have an official email application...? |

Föderation EN Fr 21.06.2024 21:28:05 @thomholwerda @thunderbird looks and works great on Gnome. I have it on all of my laptops (mix of Mint, Gnome, and KDE). |

Föderation EN Fr 21.06.2024 23:06:30 @joelpomales @thomholwerda We've got quite a few members of Team Thunderbird on GNOME and we agree - it's a great look and feel! |

Föderation EN Fr 21.06.2024 21:57:06 Sylpheed is the one that was coming bundled with Lubuntu last time I used that. |
|
Föderation EN Fr 21.06.2024 23:07:40 When was the last time? |
|
Föderation EN Fr 21.06.2024 23:12:06 Ha. More recent than that. But I don't know if that's a recent screenshot. But like, that three-pane style of reading email is pretty much the only choice if you're using an open source client, as far as I know. Even among web clients. |

Föderation EN Fr 21.06.2024 23:29:58 @MegaMichelle @h3artbl33d @thomholwerda Personally I really adore the default GTK 2 look with the strong font anti-aliasing. It’s not nostalgia for me, because I started using GNOME somewhere around version 0.9 or 1.0, later it was 1.4, then I compiled GNOME 2.0.0 (rc or late beta release) from source packages since my distro of choice didn’t offer it yet. That said, I’m a KDE enthusiast since version 1.0, but I’ve been using both since 1998. |

Föderation EN Fr 21.06.2024 23:35:08 @Arcticulate @MegaMichelle @thomholwerda Yeah - KDE 6 is still on my todo. Most of it is ported to OpenBSD - and I really, really want to give it some tinkering hours. The last serious use I gave KDE was 1.x (or earlier). Gave 3.x a try for a couple of days. I am a sucker for cwm - but will be installing KDE 6 on a spare machine soon(ish). Time is a serious constraint. Or, more accurately: prioritizing is. |

Föderation EN Sa 22.06.2024 01:13:32 @h3artbl33d @MegaMichelle @thomholwerda KDE 1 worked well on my Pentium 166 MHz (MMX), but KDE 2 was slow as syrup. I genuinely liked the UI and gave it several weeks of my school vacancy on SuSE Linux 7.2. Heh, one of the reasons I liked it so much was the productivity gains of using KDE’s PPP client (used it successfully with a 56K modem). My raw text configuration of AT commands in a conf file worked, but KDE made it so much more convenient. |

Föderation EN Fr 21.06.2024 23:30:44 Yeah - I mostly moved these workflows to the CLI. It is funny - on one hand I critique Silpheed for having a somewhat Spartan interface - but meanwhile using a CLI myself If I had to pick a GUI, I'd probably go with Thunderbird, especially with the more recent overhaul. At one point, Mailpile seemed promising, with a Gmail-esque web interface, but it was Python 2. And the follow-up fork, Moggie, seems rather stale. |
|
Föderation EN Sa 22.06.2024 01:26:48 @h3artbl33d @MegaMichelle I'm just not a CLI person, probably because I grew up with DOS and that tends to uh, taint your perception of what a CLI is, haha. |
|
Föderation EN Sa 22.06.2024 19:55:13 Hahaha! I believe my first DOS was along theines of 4.x or 5.x. Should still have the release sets of 6.22 laying around somewhere in the attick. Seems pointless - but I like to keep relevant memories of whatever formed me - both personally and in regards of geek development |
The interface really takes me back to the days before I was using OpenBSD - two decades ago.
