==  Discussion ==
This is a page to illustrate the status quo of open source email clients on Haiku.

Haiku developers and contributors are encourage to add their thoughts here.

== What we Currently have ==
=== Mail ===
Haiku's official email client that is integrated with the operating system.

Haiku provides an innovative Mail management system using the file system database-like features (queries) to efficiently manage the e-mails. While the technology for this is working well, the user interface is rather limited, making it difficult to use the feature up to its full potential.

==== Enhancements ====
''(Note: the following list is the result of a dynamic query)''

[[TicketQuery(component=Applications/Mail&status!=closed&type!=bug&order=id,desc=1,format=table,col=priority|summary|status,rows=description))]]

==== Issues ====
''(Note: the following list is the result of a dynamic query)''

[[TicketQuery(component=Applications/Mail&status!=closed&type=bug&order=id,desc=1,format=table,col=priority|summary|status,rows=description))]]
