Email client for Linux
  • How has your experience been with Mutt? I've heard about neomutt from a lot of people but I'm honestly a bit intimidated to move to a completely CLI-based email client especially because it's another configuration file which I'll need to be mindful of

  • Switching to linux for newbies.
  • Can you name some distros which are FOSS only and would whine if I were to attempt non-FOSS software installs? Debian now bundles non-free software by default (it's an opt-out now instead of opt-in)

  • Email client for Linux
  • Just coming back to say that I'm loving recoll. I've set up Thunderbird to download everything with POP and I've pointed recoll at the profile directory. Since Recoll also seems to be able to read PDFs, it is giving me amazing results at blazing speeds. Honestly if there was a decent application to just pull down email with POP I probably wouldn't even open thunderbird other than to reply to stuff

  • Switching from iOS to GrapheneOS, thoughts after 2 weeks
  • Good plan. I'm balking at having to pay 500 for a mobile device which I know won't last me for more than 4 years at maximum (unless I spend more and buy iFixit repair kits which isn't my forté). If the FairPhone was available in the US I'd consider it but I guess running Graphene is probably a better idea given the price you got the device at. Thanks

  • do regular apps work with eOS?
    1. Can I install MicroG in a different workspace and not on the main system?
    2. Can I install Google play if needed on said workspace?

    I want to keep all apps that need Google play separate from FOSS and I want MicroG to only be present in the namespace/workspace they are in. Is this possible?

  • Email client for Linux

    I have been looking for an email client on Linux after being tired of Gmail and Outlook web clients.

    I had Thunderbird installed on my system and thought I'd give it a spin. I set up POP for my email accounts and it worked fantastic... For a total of 2 hours, after which I realised that searching in Thunderbird is simply not going to work for me. I need to search by attachment name and sometimes even by text inside attachment and unfortunately Thunderbird can't do that (I think I tried an extension too but it made the UI super clunky to the point that I couldn't even understand how to navigate it anymore).

    Does Betterbird or any other email client fix this problem? I'm willing to try other options if they are FOSS.

    Thanks

    How do I map the Windows key to XFCE's Whisker menu on Debian?

    Hi, I'm running Debian with XFCE. I can't seem to bind the Windows key to the "Whisker Menu". I think I'm getting the name of the applet wrong, can someone tell me what the correct name is so I can create a new binding? Thanks

    Newsletter/RSS/general resource to keep up-to-date with DNS innovations?

    Hi,

    I have realised that my understanding of DNS isn't very good, and that there are many new technologies being adopted by mainstream FOSS applications which augment DNS from how we traditionally know it (DNSCrypt, DANE etc).

    I'm looking for a resource (blog, RSS feed) which talks about a lot about DNS and innovations happening in this space. If you have any recommendations, please let me know.

    My interest lies mostly in DNS tech which is being adopted by FOSS server and client applications.
