email client

linhuchong

Hi, friends,

Could anyone recommend an email client that doesn't need installation, i.e., just unzip the program into a specific directory, AND all the auxiliary files or directories for running the program are  in the same directory. So, no matter how many times you re-install the OS, all you need to do for restoring the email client is to copy the whole directory to some where else.

I tried Thunderbird, don't like it.

Really missing Foxmail 2.x

Thanks a lot for any info.

foxmail？
That's a win software, not linux software.
U may try Kmail, it's settings will be saved in ur home directory.

Make ur /home a seperate partition, and this will keep ur settings howmany times u reinstall ur system.

Thanks for your reply. I need a program that works in both Linux and Windows, since I transfer something between home and office. Also, I hope the email client and all the settings, and the emails received using the client are in the directory.

Then u may use wine and use it to run foxmail in ur home directory.
Another suggesstion, u may keep the mails in the mailbox on the server and just read it.

I tried wine, doesn't work.

I can not keep all the messages in the server, since I only have 50M quota. I always got some messages like "you are out of quota".

Yes. If I don't lost some emails because of the HD problem, there should be more than 1G emails.
