basic feature is subjective but yeah still.I do not know what people have used before this device but you can go to brainstrom section to check out what kind of features people would like to have. For me too many of those brainstroms include pretty basic functions of 2009-2010 device. It just makes me happy and sad :| I'm happy that i'm not demanding or expecting too much but on the another hand..yeah its step 4/n+1 meh.

ok end of rant. Try claws mail from testing/devel.
