Which is your favourite Amiga mailer?

YAM beta? SimpleMail? Other?
 When i first tried SimpleMail, i would have said "definitely SimpleMail" but the more i use it the more i discover that i has many annoying bugs and i'm not so sure about it anymore.

 What i dislike in both YAM (beta) and SimpleMail, is that they are both damn slooow and their window layout is not very optimal for a 800x600 (or less) screen.

What? I use YAM in 660x436 and I don't see how the window layout could be any better.

 Well, i believe that the segment in which the messages are displayed is a bit small, that's all. Both clients have basically the same layout, i'm more worried about their slowliness than this.

Edit: Oh, I see you said YAM beta. There's a 2.5 beta?

 Ehm, yes..

Has the layout or speed gotten worse?

 Sadly, Yes for both.
Edit: For the speed yes. The preferences of the layout are subjective.

If so, just use 2.4 p1.

 Perhaps i'll do that.

Well, i believe that the segment in which the messages are displayed is a bit small, that's all.

 You can of course configure the size of the segment used for mail display: above the header lines of the mail is a seperator line which can be moved using the mouse. The position of the seperator line is saved using the optional "save window position" border gadget that can be activated in MUI prefs, or by configuring MUI to save window positions when closing a window.

 Good tip. It works in YAM only. SimpleMail doesn't save the adjustments.

What CPU are you using? Granted, YAM (or rather: MUI) is no speed daemon, but there's only so much you can do with a 15 year old CPU. And YAM/MUI does a lot more than that.

 68040/25 but i think the point here, is that YAM v2.4 (and many other mailers)is multiple times faster than v2.5 or SimpleMail and it also uses MUI of course.
