XFMail

[gaf at blu.org (Jerry Feldman)]

I have been using XFMail for the past couple of weeks to evaluate it. For
the most part, XFMail has some of the features I like in an email program
along with some annoyances. One annoyance is in the way it displays the
message headers. It does not display any read header infomaiton at all,
but if you want to see the full header, you can easily scroll. 

Another annoyance is that it likes to crash. So far, it has not trashed
any mail. After it crashes, it remains in crash mode. Any attempt to bring
it up results in an application crash dialog box from xforms. The solution
is to delete the cache. (~/.xfmail/.cache/*). I don't particularly like
the address book. 

All in all, XFMail is a decent email program. I have it tied into
sendmail. Have not tried POP yet, and probably won't until I get my
Pegasus mailboxes moved.
