Wanted: Email Client with GUI

[Franz Steinhaeusler]

Hi, although I have googled, I didn't find a Python
email client program fitting to my needs.

What I want is a program (it doesn't have to be so sophisticated
as thunderbird) written totally in python and using a gui
toolkit like pyqt, pygtk, wxpyhton or tkinter.

Who knows such a program?

best regards,

I'm not finding much either. There is this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/usablemail/

This also looked promising: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Email

It looks like their might be some kind of tkinter email client in the
Programming Python book by Lutz. ( See

)

Hope that helps.

Thanks, that I also found already.

I know XPN, which has also some email functionality.

I only wonder, why there doesn't exist a nice one.

Oh, I here, why do you not write such a thing yourself?

It fails on lack of time.

Why reinvent the wheel? Why not use Mutt and then call any Python
script you want from within Mutt. Or use Python modules written for
Mutt.

See, e.g., http://pyropus.ca/software/

Why not give Chandlar a try? It's mostly python, with some parts written in
C (for speed, I assume).

Hello, thanks,

Chandler looks good, maybe I will give it a try.

Thanks,
