The main thing I care about with a mail client is the exit strategy - if I don't like it, can I export all my mail losslessly to mbox or eml files? Does anyone know how it fares at this? I use gmail now, though in the past I've used The Bat.
Good. But what I want to see, is Opera web browser _without_ an email client (and all the other stuff I never use.) Opera browser badly needs some slimming down. Call me old fashioned, but I deliberately use a prehistoric email client _precisely_ because it does not know anything about active content. Barely even handles html. And I like it that way.

opera browser without e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/developer/next Not for linux yet, though.
Look at all the comments under the announcement. Really sum's up how I feel as well. A selling point of Opera was the built in email client.

Facebook is sending that in its emails, and that's why it gets its own "Mailing list" automatic entry. Not that beautiful, I agree.
An important feature for email: fast and flexible search over a large dataset. This is easier to implement in the cloud than on the client. So I don't see a strong future for desktop-based email clients.
Just tested this with https://emailprivacytester.com/ and it failed Even though it claims to not load remote content by default, and pops up a "Load Images" dialogue, it actually loads content from the html5 video and audio tags immediately. So whilst this doesn't work unless the user clicks "Load Images": This does:

If your server has IMAP, you shouldn't need that.
