Re: Which Email client for Ubuntu tablet?

 

I think we have to resist the temptation to convert everything into a lens.
Mark Tully posted screenshots of a Calendar Lens in development, but I felt
then that the Dash was too limited to show such information. It does not
make clear dates, though improvements in the Dash itself could change that.
We already see an alternate way of displaying information with the Gwibber
lens (text to the side, which gives it more space) which has been exploited
by David Callé for a Wikipedia lens currently in development.

However, I think an email scope would be rather good if it plugged into the
Files lens. However, Thunderbird is too slow to load for this to be be
effective. A previewer tool in the vein of gnome-sushi or gloobus-preview
would be excellent if it worked with email (with an option to reply via
Thunderbird). Sadly, looking at the state of Sushi, I do not think this is
likely in the near future. Next, this would only be effective if it could
search the entire body of the email. The iPad's search in this regard is
laudatory and cues should be taken from it. Lastly, I am not sure if
Zeitgeist would log emails received prior to installation of Ubuntu (i.e.
those recovered from the mail server), which would be unacceptable.
