It's pretty cheap. > Actually, laptop ram is rather expensive plus it's a 4 year old laptop so actually finding compatible ram is almost impossible and not worth the investment. I have another 2GB machine and I use the memory to the fullest (and beyond) on that one also. Also, I don't think that a crippled MUA is a proper excuse to have another server running on my machine just to overcome it's limitations when there are non-crippled ones around. > > > [snip] > >> Plus, kmail doesn't know how to move to the next message when > >> opening then in a different window which is really annoying > > If that means what I think it means, then I'm not surprised. > Why not? other MUAs do it just fine (sylpheed for example). I have a 14" screen so for proper use of screen real estate I open the messages in a new window, I then want to be able to just press next to go through all the messages in the thread without having to close and open windows each time. It also has an issue with jumping to the end of the mailbox (or more annoyingly, marking to the end of the mail box to delete all the remaining messages) In short, the only thing that it had going for it over sylpheed which was the ability to delete a whole thread has been fixed in sylpheed which leaves no reason to use kmail. > > > >> > >> > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) > > iD8DBQFGARdYS9HxQb37XmcRAuzkAJ40DMux3Rf4oRGY8bPEhPunUhJClwCfU8uq > /T1RCg6hz84o3u8ZMCUcRgA= > =/xMP > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > > -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
