Balsa

[Nathan England]

I put Red Hat on my laptop to see all the Red Carpet stuff and it is very
impressive, I liked it a lot.  And Evolution is great, but I use imap
servers, so it was still pretty flaky.. Though I heard with beta two it's
not as bad...
But I would really *really* like to get it working in slackware..  Red Hat
just bugs me.. They are the microsoft of linux... lol
Okay, not quite, just big and proprietary. I still prefer th nice bsd
scripts..
So much faster..  But anyway..  I want evolution...

Any other good imap email clients out there?  Besides Netscape/Mozilla..?
Graphical also.. I use pine most of the time, but I want a graphical one as
well.. This list has hit over 700 messages and I've only been a member for a
little over a week!!! ha ha
I love imap..
