Trojitá
A Qt IMAP e-mail client
Trojitá, a Qt IMAP e-mail client
Quick Facts
- A pure Qt4 application with no additional dependencies
- Robust IMAP core implemented using Qt's Model-View framework
- Standards compliance is a design goal
- On-demand message list and body part loading
- Offline IMAP support
- Support for bandwidth-saving mode aimed at mobile users with expensive connection
- IMAP over SSH -- instead of going over an SSL socket, the server could be accessed via SSH
- Safe dealing with HTML mail (actually more robust than Thunderbird's)
If you're an end user who is actively looking for an IMAP e-mail client, please note that Trojitá's GUI is not completely ready for mass consumption yet (read: needs some polishing to not scare users away). If you are scared now, please come back in a few months, you might be pleasantly surprised :)
