Bug Description
Binary package hint: claws-mail
I believe Xubuntu should use Claws Mail as the default email client instead of Thunderbird. Below a list of reasons why.
- Its GTK, better integration into Xubuntu
- It supports themes, so we can use the Tango theme by default
- Its faster and more lightweight than Thunderbird, keeping with Xubuntu guidelines
- Supports plugins, like Thunderbird
- Very similar functionality and features. List of features: http://
- Has a tray icon!
- Its stable, no crashes yet.
Please consider Claws Mail to replace Thunderbird for Karmic. Thunderbird is too slow and heavy for Xubuntu, it doesn't integrate very well either. Its not GTK or use Tango.
