Introduction

This page is intended to give you a brief overview of the email clients available to you within Ubuntu, and also provide links to relevant articles and documentation relating to the applications.

Evolution

Overview

Evolution is a fully-featured organiser, featuring an integrated inbox, address book, calendar and task list. Evolution is the default email client for Ubuntu, and is designed to coordinate with the GNOME desktop. Evolution also includes an Intelligent Junk Mail control, and calendar integration with the gnome-panel calendar. Additionally Evolution can share contacts with Gaim and supports upload to web calendars. Multiple account management, as well as GPG key and certificate storage make Evolution an ideal mail client for all.

Thunderbird

Overview

Thunderbird is a Mozilla project that follows in the same vain as the web browser, Firefox. It is designed with speed, security and ease of use in mind, it is a useful stand-alone email client. Unlike Evolution, however, it does not provide PIM (Personal Information Management) features such as calendar, integrated address book or tasks list. Simply as an email client, it is extremely functional - spam and anti-phishing protection make this a solid application. It is also highly customisable with extensions and themes to suit your tastes or desktop style. Throw RSS capabilities into the mix, and this makes for a well-rounded application that fits a variety of purposes.

Kmail

Overview

Kmail is a very capable email client that is part of the KDE project. One of its most popular features is its ability to work very well with large IMAP mailboxes.

IMAP/SMTP Troubleshooting

I installed Kmail on 6.10 by installing the following package:

  • kmail

I then configured it for the following:

  • incoming - Cached IMAP
  • outgoing - unencrypted SMTP

I was able to read incoming mail, but I was unable to send mail using settings that I knew were correct. I kept receiving an "unrecgnized transport" error. I then found that the following packages were "recommended" by the kmail package, so I also installed them:

  • kdepim-kio-plugins
  • kdebase-kio-plugins

I then restarted Kmail, and received some very strange IMAP errors. This was then fixed by restarting gdm using the following command:

  • sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart

This commands restarts your xwindows session. If you are using Kubuntu, then you are probably using kdm instead of gdm, which means that you'll need to issue the following command:

  • sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart

After installing these additional packages, Kmail was able to work with both the IMAP and SMTP protocols.
