Kmail, Evolution - but might be too heavy again. But I'd probably not use VNC try "ssh -X thunderbird" but it might still be slow. RPI pre-5 was pretty dire on the IO and lacked crypto extensions which won't help. More fundamentally, I wouldn't be accessing email like that. I'd use something...

Went for a walk last sunday (31st) which didn't go entirely to plan. So we took a few photos. Skye being herself Skye, caught her hunting critters Skye in Loch an Doire Crionaich

Yeah, it's not unexpected TBH. Fairy dust would be nice though :) Given the affordable price as well there's a few compromises but I think I can live with them.

Just started reading Dustin Abbots review of it. No OSS is a pity.

Thanks! She's a wee border collie and really does love being out.

Me too, The reflection just worked. At least I didn't mess it up! My favourite is probably the one of Loch an Nid with An Teallach in the distance, but I recognise other people don't care of the effort required to get it!

Beinn a' Chlaidheimh comes into view Approaching our destination. It really is in the back end of nowhere and a fantastic place. Despite the walk in I'm looking forward to the longer, and hopefully dryer days so I can climb the hills. Loch an Nid, Beinn a' Chlaidheimh and An Teallach...

On Saturday me and Skye took a long, tough and wet walk to the remote Loch an Nid. It's an access route to the eastern Fisherfield munros of Mullach Coire Mhic Fhearchair, Sgurr Ban and a corbett Beinn a' Chlaidheimh. On the track to Loch a' Bhraoin A' Chailleach reflected in Loch a' Bhraoin...
