Why not using the web?

Because web is even more sucks, then every email client. Nuff said. And because I don't want to launch browser for just checking mail, I have many mail accounts, and I don't want use google to rule them all (TM).

  • Mutt is good, but it's too terminalish. Yes, I like GUI, kill me for that. *curses-like GUI is text-based interface, so I don't think we must determine it as Graphical User Interface.
  • Thunderbird\IceDove sucks - they using Gecko technology, that almost dead. It's too complicated to be mail client.
  • Geary - too Gnome-like. Future less mail client, seriously. I even can't use multiply accounts.
  • Claws-mail is good enough, but with multiple accounts it's sucks. It can't even connect to my account and, sometimes, gets a removed mail. I would like to commit to their code, but I don't like GTK developing.
  • Trojitá, KMail - nailed to KDE infrastructure, and it's pointless to use it outside of KDE.

Aaaaaaaand, that's all. So far I don't see any alternatives for GNU/Linux. So we need to reinvent the bicycle.

Goal

Creating:

  • Mail client with multiple accounts support.
  • No browser (well, I already broke this rule, most mail depend on freaking browser, but I will isolate it as best as possible).
  • No javascript.
  • No calendar and this kind of things. Never understend, why using calendar in email client?
  • Junk mail must be moved to junk folders, without deleting, user must dicede what (s)he want to do with them.
  • Clear and understandable interface - no useless buttons and settings. (hello, Thunderbird!)

Dependencies

  • Qt5
  • Compiller with C++11 support
  • libetpan
