I'm aware of this. The header says this is the FossaMail Development thread; I'm inquiring about a FossaMail Linux build, 32 bit.

There are currently no plans to offer FossaMail for Linux. FossaMail is currently a low priority side project. The Browser remains our first and foremost priority. Though I have personally made assurances that the current FossaMail code base will be able to build with the Pale Moon back end (to gain the same advancements in shared components) it does remain little more than an optimized rebuild.

I came across a few references to FossaMail today while searching for a new email client and was hoping for a linux build as well. I dislike what they've done to Thunderbird so much that I've been relying on web mail but would prefer a desktop client. It would be nice to be able to use the same email client for both windows and linux. I did a lot of searching and Claws Mail seems to be the closes to what Thunderbird used to be that's available for both windows and linux.

There is also Sylpheed, http://sylpheed.sraoss.jp/en/

I looked at Sylpheed too but decided to try Claws due to the plugins supported. I honestly wish Mozilla had offered users a choice of interfaces - the chrome clone version for individuals confused by options or obsessed with 'less is more' and the classic version for individuals who use the available options.
