Yes, I’m afraid I couldn’t recommend their service to anyone, knowing now that there’s the chance an image would be replaced with ads like this. :(

Let me know if you see any others. …

For those old computers you love to play with, Mutt is the only way to fly. It uses maybe 20% of the resources.maybe less ( if you can believe htop) as does Claws and is really easy, very easy to set up. Easy if you can get the right tutorial which I finally stumbled across on the net and have somehow lost the bookmark for. I think they try to confuse people as to how to configure it.

Biggest problem with Mutt though is I’ve come to believe it is for those who love complexity. After using it for a few months I decided I was just being sort of a masochist and went back to Claws. Don’t have to remember anything with it, just click a mouse and type.

BTW, searching for a console replacement for Osmo, I found this beauty here –> http://culot.org/calcurse/index.html <–

Meaningless to say, ncurses, looking smashing in my fake transparency urxvt… it’s a winner!

Or Wyrd+remind+abook could also function as PIM solution.

Anyway xvt comes up much faster than urxvt for me – if the bash shell is already loaded then a new xvt window is almost instantaneous, while urxvt takes 3 seconds. (450MHz cpu)
Htop reports memory use of 0.3% (of 504MB) for xvt, 0.4% for urxvt.
The difference might be greater on this 100Mhz/16MB machine.

@johnraff: isn’t xvt and old version of rxvt?

And which Wm (if any) are you using?
