Your options are MH-E, Gnus, Wanderlust, VM and MEW. I tried Gnus, Wanderlust and VM trying the hardest with Gnus and Wanderlust.=20 Gnus has a lot going for it as it is included in emacs, very active development and I had it reading my IMAP mail very quickly. It is however a news reader and that didn't suit me at all.=20 Installing Wanderlust I understand is tricky, you need to get it and it's dependancies from the right branch from CVS as the last release occured some time ago. I use the ubuntu wl-beta package so didn't have to do this. Configuration is far from trvial, my config file has 300 lines. It took me a week of tweaking to get to a state where I was happier than I was with my previous mail client. There are still some rough edges. I do like and use the org integration, but have found the bigger advantage is that I've now one less reason to leave emacs. How emacs centric is your current computer use? Postbox http://forums.appleinsider.com/showthread.php?t=3D94402 looks like a very capable application. By all means try all 5 out, I suspect though that they're not the mail clients you're looking for. Simon
