Hi All!
Libreoffice will the development of mail client?
Foxmail isn't open source.
Hi 
Thunderbird is OpenSource
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/
Various web-browsers have an email client built-in. Seamonkey does. I think Opera does, it used to and i can't imagine them writing it out. On Gnu&Linux and possibly Bsd there is Evolution which is similar to Outlook in looks and functionality except it does things the sensible way and has standards.

Hi
If you don't mind it being non-OpenSource an excellent one is "The Bat!". I've not used it myself but it seems to be being raved about by Windows users that aren't into OpenSource. Errr, i also don't know if it's free or where to get it.

Many people use Thunderbird.
Opera have also just announced recently that they will be releasing a standalone mail client as well, with Linux support. At the time of announcement early builds for Windows and Macs were available and Linux was "coming soon".
I haven't checked in a couple weeks, but there might be some progress on that.

Then I hope they will remove the built in one from the browser to make
it less bloated. I just hate those dialogues that pop up sometimes
when I close Opera, telling me that Opera needs to do something with
my email database (which doesn't exist anyway since I only use the web
interfaces for my email) or whatever…

Hi
It's good to hear people are using it more and more nowadays. They won a good fight against IE and deserve the credit for many of the freedoms we have today to be able to choose Firefox, Chrome and others that kept themselves out of the legal fight against MS but still profited from the results. Top marks to anyone that does use Opera though

Hi
Errr, allegedly. I might have a few facts a bit wonky but that's the way i heard it

Correct me if I am wrong and I am not that familiar with Opera, but I seem to remember that Opera uses the Mozilla engine, just like Firefox and several other open source web browsers. So, who benefited from Opera's battle with MS again? We, the people, all did; which is apropos for the day!

Hi
I think Opera uses a completely different back-end/engine. We, the people, did benefit. Is today Bruce Springsteen's birthday or something? I'm not in the US so i don't keep up with all these things.

Opera used to use their own proprietary engine and have since version 15
switched over to some webkit thing similar to (or the same as) Chromium
uses.

I stand corrected.
In case you are not joking, today, July 4th, is our Independence Day, a national holiday in the US.
Maybe you Brits try to forget that day, July 4, 1776.

a very good RSS reader.
Hi
I was joking but well played!
Brucey did the famously unpatriotic song "Born on the 4th of July" which Ronald Reagan claimed to like despite clearly never having listened to it. A number of big-wigs were all standing around practically saluting to it as though it was the USA's national anthem but once it got beyond the chorus-line and the meaning of the song became clearer to them there were a lot of very red-faces. Good ol'Ron completely oblivious to it (or doing a good poker-face)

Good ol' Ron was oblivious to a lot of things.
BTW, do you always overquote?
Seamonkey is basically the old Mozilla suite, i.e., Firefox and Thunderbird before they were split off into separate programs. So Seamonkey Mail is basically Thunderbird. I use Thunderbird myself.
Evolution also has a Windows port, but it's experimental and apparently involves installing RPMs in Windows, which is bizarre.
