![]() All email needs is *bold*, _underline_ and /italics/ and anything else is a waste of bandwidth.īut Thunderbird is *THE* best cross-platform FOSS email client, so I use it.Love your Galaxy S3 but hate the fact that the email app doesn’t let you change the black background ? Well, the K-9 Mail app can help. If someone emails me in HTML format only, it's probably not worth reading. TBH I don't need an email client that can render HTML. My email client needs to be restarted for every x.y.Z security release. My browser is always using a few gig more RAM than otherwise because it has all those email accounts open. If I need all the RAM for a while, I can close my email.īut when they're the same program, I can't. If Firefox needs an update, I use Chrome or _vice versa_. I can close a memory-hungry browser and switch to another one. It is more convenient for them to be separate, for me. I try to restart browsers regularly, partly because of their fast refresh cycle. I have a lot of email the result is that the client can take a lot of RAM. I leave my email clients open for days or weeks sometimes. Personally, while I liked and used the Mozilla Internet Suite, I found it problematic to have the email client in the same binary as my web browser. ![]() The Gecko engine in Seamonkey is equivalent to Firefox 60, the ESR release from May 2018. Seamonkey *is* built from the same code, yes, but quite an old version. When I can perfectly well use the free version of this, or even get the little bit of functionality I want but don't need from FOSS. Over the next 20 years* that's going to be around 1000 quid. But not the other bits particularly, and certainly not for 4 quid a month. Like a Proton mail client that allows me to import my other email accounts. Not for it to be all singing all dancing. So I stay on the free versions.Īll I want in these circumstance is to have a bit of extra something-or-other. But I'll be damned if I'll pay it over and over again every month for eternity. I'd happily pay a few quid for a slightly better version. I have the free version of various programmes. This is often the problem with free versions. I want software that is like a politician. But paying that every year, as a subscription. £30 doesn't sound too much for a programme. ![]()
