I could swear there was a tool that was discussed here years ago with the need to do just that (the mapping)... I don't think there was complete success at that time but I remember the discussion!-x16wda (February 04, 2022, 05:50 AM)
+1 for Pegasus Mail. Note that the developer has been working on the 5th major version for quite a while now, version 4.x is not quite contemporary in look&feel*. (Which is OK for me, but less OK for other people - especially as you come from The Bat!.)-Tuxman (January 23, 2022, 10:22 PM)
I, personally, also own and primarily use a license for Pandora Mail which I - incidentally - first saw on DonationCoder.
[...]
Pandora Mail 4.1 uses roughly 53 megabytes (plus the profile folder which can not completely be moved off %APPDATA% as far as I can see) of disk space, it seems to not have a portable mode (yet?). Of course, you should be fine with 90s GUI design... (you can configure some of that.)-Tuxman (January 23, 2022, 10:22 PM)
It has replaced The Bat! for me when RITlabs decided to use ribbon toolbars which I don't want to use.-Tuxman (January 23, 2022, 10:22 PM)
If you like Alpine (which is good software, I admit), other interesting command line clients for Windows include NeoMutt and a few others, but note that usual "ported to Windows" software mostly requires jumping through quite a few hoops to use the file system over Cygwin...-Tuxman (January 23, 2022, 10:22 PM)

Are pages stored internally to the app? Or on your disk in text format?-wraith808 (January 01, 2022, 12:16 PM)-rjbull (January 01, 2022, 05:03 PM)
Same thing as this - it uses WikiWords, but it's still bespoke. I like the idea, but I'm firmly in the markdown camp now.-wraith808 (January 02, 2022, 01:22 AM)

the main dev that took over and busted the app is paid €4000 every month-Attronarch (August 04, 2021, 12:44 PM)
EDIT: v5.6 has disappeared from F-Droid [...]I grabbed in from F-Droid just in time, then. Thanks for the more comprehensive link.

Well, that's good, at least.[...] Bluemail [...]came across a comment that it saves your mail in its cloud-rjbull (July 29, 2021, 04:27 PM)
According to their privacy policy, they don't save emails on their servers.-4wd (July 30, 2021, 03:07 AM)
You can get previous versions, (don't know how many), on F-Droid.Thanks, grabbed a copy of the last one that will run on my old tablet.-4wd (July 30, 2021, 03:07 AM)
People on Play aren't really happy with the new version.I gave it a quick look, and it seemed about 9 to 1 against the new interface. Seems no point in turning it into another me-too without distinguishing features.-4wd (July 29, 2021, 07:05 AM)
Android play store update's scheme is not my favorite.Mine neither. Worse still with the new UI that doesn't show what apps you've just updated, only the ones you haven't. Hides apps that won't run on your device as if they didn't exist, doesn't keep old versions for older devices. The app store search feature is hopeless too. No way to sort the results by my sort of criteria that I can see, and often pushes irrelevant crap at you. Just like Google.-MilesAhead (July 29, 2021, 09:21 AM)
Yeah, there's no longer an account list like in the old interface, if you hit back you exit. To get to other accounts you have to go through the menu.I wouldn't be, either. I once played a bit with Pegasus Mail, and couldn't for the life of me see how to add a second account, until somebody pointed out a discreet little dropdown. I much prefer TheBat!'s interface with all accounts in a tree.

I grabbed 5.6 and reloaded it ...One of the annoyances with Android is they demand you use the 'latest', regardless of whether it fits your needs best, and only put the latest on view. Where did you actually find 5.6?-4wd (July 29, 2021, 07:05 AM)
EDIT: Sideloaded apps aren't linked to the Play store so they'll never update, is this correct?Don't know, but doubt it. Google are very keen on their walled garden.-4wd (July 29, 2021, 07:05 AM)
Had a look awhile ago for another email app but all the ones I could find went for the hiding multiple accounts under a menu and trying to get you to use a Unified inbox.Does that go for Bluemail, that you mentioned before? I tried it - not the new version - on one account only, so didn't see multi-account behaviour. It's pretty, but I came across a comment that it saves your mail in its cloud, which I would much prefer to avoid.-4wd (July 29, 2021, 07:05 AM)
That'll teach me to update apps at 00:20, didn't notice that K-9 Mail was in the list and now I've got it's new crappy interface.-4wd (July 28, 2021, 01:53 AM)
From what I understood, Windows 11 Home versions now require an internet connection and Microsoft account. Local accounts not allowed anymore.Do you know if that is also true of Win11 Pro and Enterprise, assuming they keep those versions?-Shades (June 24, 2021, 11:17 PM)
This is a big no no for me.Me too, though I'm not sure I'm brave enough to leave familiar applications programs behind and start over again with Linux. On the other hand, I'm increasingly tired of Microsoft's behaviour. I find a Windows 10 PC is laden with lots of Microsoft's lame applications that I don't use and didn't ask for. My rule of thumb is that third-party software is always better, and if I want extra features, I'll go and look for them myself. The latest bugbear was Microsoft News appearing on the task bar. I thought it was a program in itself and couldn't find a way to remove it, eventually realising you had to turn it off. But I didn't want it there in the first place.-Shades (June 24, 2021, 11:17 PM)
Another thing you could do, is if you had any kind of swf player, you could record your screen as it played.ScreenToGif's own home page is https://www.screentogif.com/ but it's the same version as MajorGeeks have. There's also LICEcap. Don't know about quality; it certainly has less features.
