Sylpheed [06 Apr 2006|11:39pm] After playing around with Evolution as my primary email client on my Gentoo Linux machine I've decided it sucks. So I went to my most favorite Gentoo website ever. I usually base my selection of applications on the screenshots their dev site provides. Sylpheed look sexy and works great. Works with IMAP which is what I need it to do, POP3 blows. I can easily add and manage other accounts too.The only thing I have figured out how to do is configuring it to show images in emails. It also supports threading which is nice!! Other then that, it kicks ass. Update: Just found this on the Sylpheed site: When a message contains an attachment, you can have several options to view the information in that file. Sylpheed can be able, when compiled against the proper libraries, to display images "inline". This means you can click the name of the image and you can see it in the lower part of the message screen. I guess mine wasn't compiled with those libraries...oh well, not a big deal...I have a laptop sitting right here that can do that stuff if I need it too. Their damn wiki is in Japanese too :( post comment

AdiumX [06 Apr 2006|11:39pm] I was reading some guys blog about how he used Windows since the beginning of time and how he'll be using AdiumX since it connects to the MSN network. I've used AdiumX before and I did like it. it works wonderfully and I too enjoy how it can connect to multiple protocols but then I got an iSight and I couldn't use it anymore. It was back to iChat. But now that I have my PowerMac I can use it on my PowerBook and iBook. It's really sexy...it allows you to change the dock icon and I saw this Domo-Kun one I just had to have. There was like 10 pages of dock icons though. Plus you can style the buddy list and the messaging windows. It's really a great program, and FREE. post comment
