But there are two things I could never figure out, perhaps you have:<br /><br />- When you send an email, it shows up as unread mail in the Sent folder; similarly, when I delete an email from the Inbox, it shows up as unread in Trash. But a message I just wrote/deleted should not be set to unread.<br /><br />- I could never figure out attachments. If you send a large file, wanderlust (or whatever it hands it over to) cuts it into many messages and sends it in pieces. Standard mailreaders at the other end, however, don't merge these messages. Well, perhaps this is not wanderlust's fault, but I have to drop into Evolution to send attachments.Greg Bnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3992530807750384868.post-36710800755953921972009-10-23T19:08:17.095+03:002009-10-23T19:08:17.095+03:00Nice post I must try wanderlust.

As mailreader I use mutt, I try gnus via local imapserver (dovecot) but that config not satisfy me. I like mutt, slrn and newsbeuter but when I start they via ansi-term from emacs dont work very well (my subjective opinion). I search native emacs replacements for that applications and I think wanderlust maybe this one for mutt.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3992530807750384868.post-65367436898153310282009-09-28T22:20:23.562+03:002009-09-28T22:20:23.562+03:00Ok, I am going to give wanderlust a try.

Nnmaildir creates two files for each mail --- which IMO is quite wasteful. And, as you mentioned, it uses unconventional marks.<br /><br />Gnus works best if you're willing to take the plunge and use its modified mh (nnml) or mbox (nnfolder) formats. For synchronized/easily shared formats, it is subpar IMO.Mattnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3992530807750384868.post-6908894144812374722009-09-21T19:39:17.780+03:002009-09-21T19:39:17.780+03:00@tom: some of the mirrors work, and you can get th...@tom: some of the mirrors work, and you can get the latest (beta) version:<br />http://www.jpl.org/elips/wl/snapshots/; you'll also need the dependencies (apel, flim and semi).

I'm using Gnus with Maildirs since 2 years using fetchmail for fetching mails and postfix (in smarthost mode) for sending mails via a SMTP relay. I don't use any mbox mailspool file. It works awesome, I use mutt and kmail also with the same mailboxen.
