Hi,

even if it is the default, I don't like it. Also windows 8 is not the default and I continue not to like it. Just a personal taste
I mean, it's not just colors and everything being strongly rectangular.
It's these floating menus, submenus hopping upwards on clicking, windows
disappearing apparently randomly, no way to unhide the app after using
the "hide" menu item, these icons in the lower left corner appearing
(what's their point, clicking them does nothing?) and such things.
Windows shouldn't disappear randomly.
The "hide" makes indeed sens with those icons in the lower left corner. Clicking on them should make the application come on top again. If you check the screenshots of Windowmaker, those icons get arranged in a line forming a dock. erhaps some option to integrate better (to be used by a GTK theme) should be implemented. On windows there are some details that allow not hiding/closign the last windows and such stuff.

Isn't there a Gnome or Gtk+ theme? This would probably fit much better
and I doubt Ubuntu users would complain to see this installed by default
or as a (mandatory?) dependency.
It is highly unfinished. Also, in-windows menus just don't work with every app in a smooth way.

When does it segfault? when you try to get the sevrer auth.
capabilities? (or if you run the check, it will crash when you close the
app later)
Indeed, if I avoid checking for server capabilities, I can save
preferences and quit normally. Now I can at least read mail, thanks.
Ok, so you got again the same problem. That is it. It shouldn't crash, even of quit, it you dont' do that check. On one account, where I don't need authentication, GNUMail is reasonably stable even.
I wish I can solve that itch.
Compared to Thunderbird it's a really nice, uncluttered app. Even
PGP/GPG is there. Some polishing (see above) and people should jump on it.
That's GS style: unclcuttered, but still ppowerful and not dumbed down :)
