Many years ago I also looked for a replacement for kmail, because kde3 was not longer supported and I disliked kde4. First I used thunderbird but I was not very lucky with it (filters were poor and enigmail also was not very komfortable IIRC). I've tested all available e-mail clients and at the end I sticked with claws mail. I'm still using this client and I'm very lucky with it. However, if you prefer HTML-Mail, then it is maybe not the best choice for you. Btw, I'm using geany as text editor, ding as dictionary, thunar as filemanager (sometimes also caja), qpdfview as document viewer, geeqie as image viewer, sonata as mpd client, audacious as music player and xfce as "DE". -- Regards wabe
