Topicbox-Message-UUID: 1c1f6212-ead9-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025 --Apple-Mail=_F3362335-039D-4D30-BBFA-A49783355675 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii The mail I mostly read from Plan 9 is hosted on Plan 9, but I've done = IMAP with it as well. -- Running imap with multiple mboxes (folders or whatever) did not work for me (only one of them was updated). This is almost certainly a configuration issue. It's not exactly clear = what you mean by "wasn't updated", but I can't think of anything that = matches my experience. Setup with plumber, faces, &c can take some = thought up front, though. -- Threading did not work properly. Folks have put this into the readers, but I don't use it and haven't = evaluated it. -- When something went wrong during 'sending' from acme Mail, I did not get any information that the mail had not been sent. So actually I = always had to control sending an email from, say, gmail's web interface. (Or had to look manually into the logs.) That's a pretty bad behaviour. That is bad behavior. I haven't observed (n)upas to be any worse in that = regard than any other system I've used, though. Upas maybe provides one = or two more places for the handoff to go wonky, but there's always a = handoff that can go bad. Regardless, if this is coming up with *any* regularity, I again suspect = a configuration issue. -- You can't easily search within all mail like you can using gmail (for anything in the body, withing given dates, from somebody, combinations, etc. True. I wrote Mg (http://9fans.net/archive/2008/11/647) to offset some = of these deficiencies, but "modern" interfaces are well ahead here. -- I don't know how to correctly 'forward' an email from within acme = Mail. If you just care about sending the content on, open the message, edit = the first line to who you want it to go to, hit Post. Fastest method, = although you're tweaking the original. If you'd rather the original = message be included unmolested, open the message, hit Reply, edit the = address, hit Post. -- the fact that gmail helps you to fill addresses when writing an email is extremely handy and useful. Agreed. That's just a few things. The main thing for me that prevents me from using it for more of my mail = is the lack of a good HTML formatter. I occasionally get mail I actually = care about (and often get mail that I don't) where the formatting = matters. It's rare enough that I can punt that to other devices and have = it be okay, but common enough that it's distracting. Configuration, especially when all you're doing is the client (IMAP) = side, is more of a pain that most other options. --Apple-Mail=_F3362335-039D-4D30-BBFA-A49783355675 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: Message signed with OpenPGP using GPGMail -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iEYEARECAAYFAlQ9Fb0ACgkQyrb52b5lrs6bSACcDtWGvHYv2z3CfJyLTVmwGvYF rIIAnA0xe4+O16fHy5sRbIt55HEqE2zr =G0DA -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Apple-Mail=_F3362335-039D-4D30-BBFA-A49783355675--
