Mail clients, which do you use?

Just curious what mail clients people use. I am always interested in improving my workflow.
Some of my friends are 100% gmail. That is all they use.
Others use gmail when they are out and about, but use a desktop mail app when they are at home (fetch via pop).
I tend to use a desktop client (claws), and crappy ol' squirrelmail (from my isp) when I dont have my laptop. I have considered going gmail, but I cant bring myself to do it. I have a gmail account, but I mostly use it for garbage...

I tried out numerous applications. But I always come back to Thunderbird. I don't have really special things I like to do with my mail-clients, so Thunderbird does everything I need.
It has GnuPG-Enigmail support, with automatic download of missing keys, a really good Spam filter.
And most of all I really like that it stores accounts, mails and even extensions in one folder.
With an initial "thunderbird -ProfileManager" I can use the same mail-folder from different Computers or Distros/BSs and have all my data there.
I really like KMail but the settings and mails are too cluttered, to really have it portable or distributed.
Downsides:
-It integrates badly with KDE and GNOME, has ugly Win95-ish interface, where it shows through that it's not really good GTK
-It loads and repaints slowly

Bridge vs Lightroom - Which do you use?

I just subscribed to Creative Cloud am am learning how to use both Bridge and Lightroom. I've been using Apple's Aperture program to organize images, but I want to see how Lightroom stacks up and perhaps switch.
I have so many things to figure out, it's going to take a while. But one question I'd like to as on this forum is whether you, as a web designer, use Bridge or Lightroom to organize your images.
I'm currently using Aperture to organize sort of a base library of images that haven't been processed for a website. If I select one of these images (from Aperture or Lightroom), open it in Photoshop and save it for the web - as Animal.jpg, for example - then I figured I'd use Bridge to organize Animal.jpg.
But someone on the Lightroom forum told me that would be confusing; I should use one program or the other.
So I just wondered which program you use. I haven't yet figured out exactly how they overlap and what the pros and cons of each program are.
Thanks.

I use Bridge for previewing quite a bit with Photoshop.
Use whatever works best for YOU.

I am using ERwin® Data Modeler r7.1 (7.1.1.1207). It supports most new features of Oracle 10g such as hash, list, composite hash, setting LOB storage properties etc.
We just upgraded from version 4 recently. In the old version, I had to manually modify the generated scripts.
ERWin r7 supports all Oracle 10g (Release 2) new features we need for our projects. It offers far more functionality and options than the old version. It supports all partition types in Oracle 10g: Range, Hash, List, Composite-Hash and Composite-LIST and offers more storage settings.
Another nice new feature of ERWin r7 is that it offers purge option in the DROP TABLE statement. In Oracle 10g, the recycle bin contains all the dropped database objects until you permanently drop them with the PURGE option. Otherwise, you will see many funny looking objects like this: 'BIN$0+ktoVChEmXgNAAADiUEHQ==$0'.
With the purge option, you don't need to purge the recycle bin after the forward engineering.
SQL> purge recyclebin;
My favorite is Oracle Designer.

How are the Apps Store and iTunes store different? Which do you use for what?

Can you explain the difference between Apps Store and iTunes store? Is Apps a subset of iTunes store? To which store do you go for what?

Apps you buy from the Mac App store can be used on your computer. You use the same Apple ID as the iTunes Store, but that's the only connection.
Apps you buy from the iTunes App Store are written to run on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch). They won't run on your computer, only on your iDevice.

Share Geotagged Photos: Flickr, Picasa or Panoramio? Which do you use?

I've gotten started geotagging photos. I'm using HoudahGeo and pulling tracks from my Garmin etrex. Then importing into iPhoto. Really cool.
My photos are mostly from hiking. I'd like to start sharing some of these, but don't know which service is best. Flickr, Picasa, or Panoramio? I've started an account on all three to compare them, but I haven't installed any plug-ins yet.
I'm wondering which service makes it easiest for others to find my photos. Not just people I know, but someone who might want to hike the same trail, camp at the same site and check it out ahead of time. Picasa doesn't have a map, but I've noticed that photos show up in search almost right away. In Flickr, my photos haven't showed up after a day (it is a holiday weekend). I understand that with Panoramio, they are reviewed first, so that could take weeks.
So, which service do you use and why?

CHoice is up to you - I use Panoramio and google earth because I like the way they work and integrate and I use Google earth to plan trips and see where I went
You also might take a look at the ATP Photo FInder - http://photofinder.atpinc.com/ - it is a neat, small stand alone GPS receiver that will add the GeoCodeing to your photos without the computer - CostCo.com recently had them on sale for $80 with free shipping

Rental Car Company Rewards. Which do you use? Or do you use?

I would to get the community's opinion on this. I do not use rental cars too often but I do use them when I fly. I hate to waste rewards with anything so I have been looking into trying to pick one company and stick with them. However, I have found that most of the time, its a lot cheaper to book your cars with your flight than it is to do it on your own through a certain company. For example, I was going to fly out to Seattle for a few days for a little vacation. I looked up rental cars information on Hertz and it was going to be about 500 for the days which is crazy! Then I booked a flight to Nashville for a few days and ended up booking the car after my flight and for 5 days, my car rental there was only 125. Just curious what other travelers do for car rentals Do you use rewards through them? Do you book ahead? Do you book at airports? Thanks in advance!

Maps - which do you use?

Google Maps vs. Yahoo Maps vs. MapQuest vs. Microsoft Live
API's
Which do you prefer and why?
Dan

I built a "locator" application for the hobby I'm heavily
involved with
(flying model helicopters) that utilises map technology and
the decision
there was based on which maps looked the best for my own
location...
I went with Microsoft Maps (Virtual Earth) because the level
of detail was
better at the time of my choice.
It may still be - I can't be bothered checking right now :)
I found the online documentation to be very good - easy to
follow, copy
paste and tweak code, play for a while then launch the app
pretty quickly.
I agree with Patty on the directions thing though - it might
not be the best
set of directions you can get, but that really applies to all
direction
software IMO...
You can see my app in action here:
http://www.tenzeroten.com/locator/index.asp
Select a location from the list, click the button and wait
for the next page
to oad - this is my only gripe... the JS powering the map API
is obviously
quite large, so it can take a while to load in. I'm not sure
if there's a
workaround for that either. (Note: this "club locator" does
not contain all
available clubs - just those that have bothered to add their
details to the
system so far).
I learned what I needed to build that app from the live docs:

Which email client / solution do you use?

I was wondering what email client is everybody using out there. Just got a new computer and am setting up arch on it. I've used evolution, thunderbird, and elm and pine (way back in the day). I'm a recent KDE convert from gnome (no thoughing rotten veggies please and was wondering what experiences people have had with kmail. Also, it seems that thunderbird is the only one with build in spam filtering. I got inordenate amounts of this stuff so that was nice while i was using. I used to do the whole fetchmail / procmail / spamassassin / sendmail thing when i was using redhat. Anyway, just wondering if anybody had any suggestions and what works best form them?

hrrm--the obvious questions, do you have the browser set up in the configuration file?
It may just be in sylpheed-claws (which is what I have in FreeBSD.
The command (in the "other" section of Common Preferences is
opera -remote 'openURL(%s, new-window)'
Again, this was Sylpheed-claws. However, I vaguely remember that it would work, you'd just have to click a few times.

Ah yes, I suppose i should use claws instead. But thats not in pacman. Bah. Oh well

Multithreaded client: which listener to use?

I've got a client program that needs to talk to a server. Instead of building in all the RMI and server-aware stuff into the client, I'm making a layer between then, called ClientHookup. This way, we can write alternate front-ends, and just make sure they all talk nicely with ClientHookup.
ClientHookup will receive requests for data from the client (returning a request ID), spawn a thread to process the request, and then notify the client when the data has arrived. This way the client is free to do things while data is coming, it's not just locked up.
I need to make my client implement a listener interface of some sort (like ActionListener), and register this with the ClientHookup, so I can snag events as data is returned.
Am I doing this right? Is there an example somewhere I could look at? What kind of listener should I implement? What kinds of events do I throw?
ActionListener seems to be in java.awt, but I don't really need that stuff. There is an EventListener, but it seems to be a "tagging" interface, whatever that is.
Thanks!

Actually, I found a very wonderful explanation of how to use events and listeners (how to build you own, basically) in another thread. So, never mind! I have what I need.

Apple Mail client (version 8.0) using 100%+ CPU upon using mail drop (13" R-MBP running Yosemite 10.10)

Hello Support Community,
I am having quite the interesting issue. I have read plenty of reports where users' Apple Mail app is using 100% of CPU. This did not start for me until I went to go use the new mail drop feature in Yosemite. I am running Yosemite (10.10) on my 13" Retina - MacBook Pro (flash storage, 8GB RAM, 2.4 dual-core Intel i5) and my Apple mail is version 8.0. I have tried 3 different mail services (2 gmail accounts and iCloud), all result in the same issue. I have also done a complete erase of the hard disk and a brand new install of Yosemite, the issue persists.
As previously stated my mail app is using 100% upon, and only while, using the mail drop feature. If I force quit the mail app and allow it a minute, the mail app returns to using less than 1% of the CPU and the app and entire system resume normal function. Upon attempting to resend the same message that is placed in my outbox the CPU usage jumps to 50-80%. After a few seconds, the CPU usage will sometimes jump higher than 100%, ranging from 130% - 199%. All of these observations were made using Activity Monitor. Of course you can see my frustration, an app using this much CPU stops every process my Mac is doing (using safari, messages, iTunes etc.) - the whole computer locks up. Even force quitting is a difficult process to attempt.
Does anyone have a fix for this? I am at a loss and have no idea what to do. I am a pretty tech savvy guy and have tried everything that I would've thought would fix this. Is there anyway this could be a hardware issue? I don't think so but... all possibilities need to be taken into consideration, even though that one seems outlandish. Upon creating a new user account with a separate user library (but same system library) I figured the OS was the problem. I can't narrow it down to being a specific mail provider, and it can't be my OS since I have now erased and reinstalled 10.10 twice. Thank you!

I have this same issue. It has been driving me insane, Mac Mail uses 100% CPU most of the time I use it, after every time I open the machine, or after a sleep or even mostly after a screen saver has locked me out. It normally settles down after 5-15 minutes, but then happens every time again. It is killing my battery.

Which package you use to manipulate an image?

After Effects and Premiere Pro, Which do you use first?

Hi. I use premiere pro to edit my videos and now I am learning about after effects and removing blemishes with AE.
My question is, do I edit my audio, colors, etc. in premiere first then do after effects for blemishes or vice versa? I don't want to start and do it backwards. I hope it all works as planned. I am going to try the clone stamp tool, if anyone has any other suggestions please let me know. Thank you so much!!

In most cases the most efficient workflow is to edit in Premiere Pro, pick the shots where you need to add effects or compositing that you can't do in Premiere then use one of the following techniques:
For simple AE projects right click on the shot in Premiere Pro and select Replace with After Effects Composition
For more complicated effects and compositing shots copy the shot in Premiere Pro and paste it into AE or render just the shot to a suitable frame based production format and import that into AE
For very complicated shots pick the take and trim the shot in Premiere Pro leaving handles (a few extra frames on the head and tail) and render them to a 10bit or better production format for use in AE
When you have completed your work in AE if you have used step 1 then just save your work and go back to Premiere Pro. For the second and third option, render your AE comps to a suitable production format and import them to Premiere Pro where you will replace the original shots in the sequence.
Note: MP4, H.264 and other MPEG compressed formats are not suitable for production, only for delivery. Don't render your DI (digital intermediates) using these highly compressed formats.

Photomail will not function in pse10 or 11? using microsoft outllook 10 as e-mail client etc.or Adobe e-mail client

It looks like that this is a common problem (bug) in adobe pse10 or 11 as i cannot send images in photo mail under the organizer using microsoft outlook 10 as the email client or using adobes"s e-mail client. In adobes"s e-mail client i cannot get it to send my verification code to my e-mail adress.This is rediculous as a message says if you cannot use micrsoft outlook 10 as the e-mail client then try to use our e-mail client which is non-functional!! But I had to install windows live mail and use it as my e-mail client and it worked. Why hasn"t this been fixed already by your techies as it has been going on for a few years. Thanks!! Have ie9 windows 7.

Which SATA drivers do you use for nForce3 chipset?

Windows Generic or the ones that come with the nForce3 drivers?
When using the nForce drivers, my hard drive operates louder and the light appears to be flickering a lot more (indicating more hdd access) when compared to the Windows XP drivers.
Which do you use? What should I be using? I remember reading some threads that said nForce SATA drivers suck... but that was months ago.
Thanks for any info
(Please note that I am NOT, I repeat, NOT talking about RAID, just standard serial ATA)
