Thanks to all who helped getting my Yahoo Mail account switched over to a standard e-mail client, currently Sylpheed 3.2.0. I've always hated using the web interface.
All that's left to do other than some final tweaking is deciding how to handle those HTML e-mails with all their pretty graphics and pictures I get from friends, clients and suppliers who use Windows. ;-)
Thanks, again.

You'll also want to tweak the line wrap option (I hope) :)

According to research 72 is a good limit for comprehension, whereas some
people said they could read faster if the lines were set at about 100
characters but then they didn't comprehend it as well as if it was set
at 72 characters.

Oops! I had line length set at 72, but hadn't "enabled" word wrap.

HTML as text. As far as I know there are no plugins which would help
it to display HTML as they are supposed to be rendered. CLAWS which is a
Sylpheed spinoff does have ways to display HTML and is a drop-in
replacement for Sylpheed. I tried it recently but found the
documentation lacking in clarity. I ended up switching to Thunderbird.

Check whether you can open chrome + url from the command line like this:
$ chrome www.google.com
If this works, then chrome '%s' should work with the 'Open' menu option
mentioned above.

I just wish it could open in Sylpheed's reader window itself, instead
of me having to switch to a different workspace where google-chrome is
running all the time. Would Thunderbird or similar do that? I've

found Sylpheed's IMAP-handling a little flakey. YMMV.

Instead of google-chrome, you could try midori, and close it after viewing.

It's a fast, light-weight browser that I find well suited for this purpose.

You might try switching to Claws-Mail, then. It's a fork of Sylpheed

which offers extra features, one of which is the "Fancy" plugin. Enable
that and you can view HTML messages directly in the viewer pane.

Haven't gotten that far in the manual. Since Claws is a fork, maybe,
they are similar.

Look 'n' feel is similar, but one of the reasons for the split was the
ever increasing difficulty of merging Claws code into a new release of
the Sylpheed original. It shouldn't be difficult to migrate.
From what I see at their respective web sites, CM has more plugins
available for it that Sylpheed has.

timing out on one or two IMAP connections...waiting for the 60 sec
timeout, then rebuilding the IMAP connection, at which point everything
would be fine...until the next time when it would timeout again..etc
etc. I spent a lot of time configuring and reconfiguring, Googline the
problem etc. Thundebird never seems to have the problem.
As far as plugins, CLAWS is the definite winner. Sylpheed has very
few (if any).

or even if they are compatible.

I don't have either Claws or Slypheed set to check for mail
automatically. I do it manually 2 or 3 times a day. Prefer it that way.

Fancy plugin configuration menu item), it can be done on a per mail

Yes. Even if the "Load images" option is set to yes, there are times

>Don't know. Yet.
when they still won't get displayed unless you also set "enable remote
content". If you don't want to do that on a permanent basis (via the
Fancy plugin configuration menu item), it can be done on a per mail
basis by clicking on the tools icon at the bottom of the display area
and selecting "enable remote content" there.

Some people mature very slowly... :-)) Perhaps it's yet to come ;-)

I used SuSE for a long time. But when its owner, Novell, went to
collaborate with a company that is not known for its noble intentions,
I could not live with that and switched to Debian. That is a clear
example of a non-technical criterion.

I think the point is that it has nothing to do with age.

start experimenting with FreeBSD. Clearly a technical challenge; as for
morality, I think FreeBSD, like Debian, scores pretty well for that.

Unfortunately, it's designed specifically for the GNOME desktop.

Nothing really wrong with that, I guess. I ran GNOME for years until
3.0 came out. Then switched to a window manager only GUI for more
efficiency, speed and less bloat on this aging machine of mine.
Guess we'll have to wait and see how it develops.
