I have tried loads of mail clients in my time and mutt does it for me. I don't go in for bells and whistles so I find gui-based clients somewhat tiresome. mutt is very flexible and the sort-by-thread option is brilliant. It doesn't do html, but then e-mail should be text - if I receive an e-mail message in html-only I have no qualms about deleting it without reading it ;o) Try mutt - you won't be disappointed. Unless you crave a gui ;o) Tony On Thu, Jul 03, 2003 at 01:21:35AM -0400, parv wrote: > in message <200305290834.h4T8Yds30576@thunder.trej.net>, > wrote Joachim Dagerot thusly... > > > > I do miss an oportunity to choose sender each time I post > > a message, only way to solve that is to set up multiple > > accounts... > > > > In Evolution it's basically only the "sort messages in thread" > > that's really useful. > > > > Based on the two criterias above (Possibility to have multiple > > sender addresses on one account, and messages sorted in threads) > > can you give me some hints on good software? > > You can do all that and some more w/ mutt.
