For 5 years (since I switched to Linux) I tried wrestling Claws -- it seemed most like The Bat!, which I had on Windows --, but their support is very rude (likely due to the unwieldy mailing list format) and there are just TOO many options. I always disliked the chopped-up Thunderbird interface. Then I found Geary and was in love! But, I needed something equally simple, easy and lightweight for POP; Geary sadly only provides IMAP. After reading around a bit, I finally decided to try Sylpheed. Download, setup and POPing my Gmail took about 2 minutes. Now I'm in love with this one! I'll still use Geary and IMAP to manage the daily mails, but Sylpheed will be my POP solution, for those emails I want to save on my hard drive(s).
Sylpheed is a pleasant surprise. It is tiny, it is lightweight, that is, fast (!!), and doesn't slow down anything. It does not have HTML formatting, but it shows the attachment pictures in the mail that you receive, so, it is perfect.
Thanks to Sylpheed, I can open mail application even when I have two browsers with over 100 tabs, plus 5 Libreoffice documents, and sometimes a video editor already running.
I really love Sylpheed :) I used Thunderbird for over ten years, but switching to Sylpheed took only one minute – that's all it takes to install and configure it.
Работает, не вылетает,прост в настройке! Но не идеальное приложение (нет уведомлении на иконке в tray и не все возможности настройки).
Complet et présente bien mais n'affiche pas les message en HTML. Un comble en 2015. Poubelle !
Sehr schlanker Mail-Client, kaum Arbeitsspeicherverbrauch. Für effektive Arbeit aber ZU einfach, im Vergleich zu vollen Mail-Clients wie Thunderbird. Vernünftige HTML-Darstellung leider auch nicht möglich.
Really lightweight and fast, stable and reliable! Perfect for easy managing large amounts of daily mail.
