[tlug] mail recommendations

["Micheal E Cooper" <mecooper@example.com>]

I hope I am not asking too many questions.

What are you using for e-mail on Linux?

All of my mail is bilingual E-J, and since I program in Java (you could say
that I am a Java fanatic), for the past year or so, I have been moving even
my Windows apps to Java apps.

As a matter of fact, yesterday I taught my first lesson of the new
curriculum that I am working on -- Internet English -- to junior high and
high school students. I used eight identical (except amount of ram)
Sotecs -- one with XP, two Linux, one Windows2000, and four Windows98 -- all
running Opera. No system problems (except for 98 being too damn slow and
Linux being at too low a resolution). The kids said it was very interesting.
I will have to polish the curriculum, though.

For the past year or so, I have looked at many mail programs in Java and
other languages, but none of them really handle Japanese well. Also, I
archive my mail by saving individual messages to directories in the system,
so I want a client that handles this well.

What do all of you use for bilingual e-mail?
