Notability?[edit]

What's up with the notability tagging? Last time I checked, Balsa was a pretty well-known mail client. I don't use it myself, but it's bundled by Debian, for example: http://packages.debian.org/stable/balsa JöG (talk) 19:41, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. It is a long established full function gui email client for the Gnome desktop.
Evolution, often now touted as Gnome's main email client, is focused on groupware/email, oriented to a corporate environment, rather than those seeking single-user email.
Balsa has certain important features that Evolution and many other email clients lack. (e.g. support for all 3 main local email storage formats.)
As well as Debian noted above, Balsa is also included with Fedora, OpenSuse, and Ubuntu (major Linux distributions), as well as Slackware, Openmandriva, and Rosa, among others.
Balsa would be generally included with Linux distributions that offer the Gnome desktop, which would be most (if not all) major Linux distributions. André437 (talk) 05:34, 23 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
