Re: Which Email client for Ubuntu tablet?

 

Sadly it has lots of KDE dependencies.

Perhaps Kontact touch is worth a look? http://userbase.kde.org/Kontact_Touch

I'm not sure if it is too dependent on the KDE side of things, but we
do ship Qt now...

Look at the LeechCraft (http://leechcraft.org/). It is the modular
IM-client, browser, e-mail client, etc in one application. Maybe it's good
alternative to Firefox+Thunderbird+Empathy (but it needs some revisions)?

The Onboard developer are working on a auto popup feature.

And I don't like the auto popup. I prefer manual control.

Onboard doesn't really work as a touchscreen keyboard, though. It should
pop up automatically when you touch a text field, and disappear
automatically when the focus goes elsewhere.

Onboard works fine with the Dash. Just watch my video from today

Actually, a lot of work has been done to make unity touch friendly, but
more needs to be done. Once a keyboard works with the dash, it will be well
on it's way.

It's worth keeping in mind that Cannonical's plans are for Unity to work
across all devices, so discussions about using gnome shell instead are going
to be counterproductive.

Re mail clients, has anyone else had a chance to look at the current
offering from android with ICS? Really well put together in terms of design
for a tablet. I use it on a 7 inch hacked kindle fire. It's awesome.

Apart from speed issues with lower end hardware, I wonder if thunderbird
could be a good way to go. Rather than rewriting the entire program, we
could probably use plugins to customize it. Of course, with mozillas rapid
update cycle these could potentially break, but with Cannonical's support,
it just might be possible.

Why would the Gnome Mail not be usable on a small (smartphone) screen? I
haven't looked at it with much detail, but if they program it properly
(currently they're only designs) it shouldn't be a problem from what I've
seen.

Right, it depends on the GUI design. The current mockups wouldn't work on
a Smartphone.

Besides, I think the current GNOME Shell is better for tablets than
Unity.

Until now there is no work done to make Unity touch friendly. I have a
10" tablet running Precise. Here is a first impression report (in german)

tablets like the Streak or a Smartphone Gnome Mail wouldn't work.

The Client needs an interface that fits both tablet and smartphone

Just my two cent

Hi, I wonder which email client shoud be used on a tablet (or even on
a phone). Thunderbird is not really a good choice. I tried it yesterday, but
it's awful. Or is it possible to make the surface touch friendly?

Regards
Markus
