Trying out Mailody 0.2.0-RC1
Ok, I fetched flameeyes overlay and emerged Mailody. It was quite a fast emerge compared to other KDE applications even considering I also had to emerge git. I'll try to summarize my experiences here:
- Fast emerge
- Easy configuration
- Seems a lot faster than Kmail
- Annoying that the whole UI freezes when fetching folder contents
- No Kontact integration
- Right cliking on "All" in the folder view causes it to use 100% for my amount of patience
- "Zoom in" causes a crash when no message is selected
- No drafts folder or possibility to save drafts
Apparently no rendering of HTML (I think it should do it but it failed on my test message)- No option to move mails keyboard shortcut
- A copy of a moved messages stay in it's original folder (until a resync I guess)
No interval mail checking- No GPG integration
- Load on the mailserver is far less than with Kontact
- Easy configurable mail checking for individual folders by right clicking and selecting "Check for new mail" (much easier than Kmail actually, just not initially clear to me that it was also configuring interval checks)
- Tabbed email reading, now that rox!
So far it seems very promising, though I think I'll stick with Kmail for a while more:(
Update 1: Flameeyes just added Mailody to Portage so now you can just emerge away.
Update 2: Updated main post after comment from Tom Albers.

Thanls for looking at Mailody. Two remarks.
- html message should display fine in html mode. (T in the toolbar) - no external images will be shown of course.
- interval checking is in the context menu of a folder. A bit hidden, i agree ;-)
ps. you forgot to mention tabbed email reading...

Tom, thanks for writing Mailody.
- HTML rendering does indeed work as expected, I just didn't find the button.
- Didn't realize straight away that the watch folder stuff was actually interval ckecking only noticed it later when I got a popup. It's working nice and easier than Kmail.
- Tabbed email reading is nice.
Updated main post to reflect this.
