It has been nearly two years now since I switched from Sylpheed to aerc as my daily driver for email.
While Sylpheed still is an awesome email client my switch was triggered by more heavy usage of a laptop than before and the discovery of usability problems I thought long solved like:
- very high resolution but applications either zoomed / scaled which results in less space than needed
- unwieldy mouse handling (touch pads suck)
- after disabling application zooming fonts and icons were barely readable
