This topic comes up failry often. Try looking through the -questions archives to see what turns up. And what's "drop boxes"? One thing to consider is that Unix applications tend to be smaller programs that each do their job very well, instead of monolithic programs that do everything not quite so well. For instance, most people will recommend procmail for filtering mail, and it's capable of things that look like magic compared to what OE could do last time I looked at it. Procmail is run by the MTA, not the UMA, so you can get that filtering capability with any mail reader you want to use. Personally, I use qmail as an MTA, and the user delivery mechanisms it provides are nearly as powerful as procmail, so I ditched procmail. I use the vm package in xemacs, which qualifies as a GUI mail reader, but probably won't make people who want buttons for everything happy. > Anyone?
