= Mail Clients =
Since imip-agent is integrated with mail infrastructure defined by Internet
standards, users can use any mail program that is capable of sending and
receiving standards-based mail. However, it is recommended that
[[http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2045|MIME]]-capable mail programs are used
in order to properly present messages produced by imip-agent. Since the MIME
standards have been in existence since the 1990s, most commonly-used mail
programs should work with imip-agent with few difficulties.
Meanwhile, mail clients that can understand and present calendar data are
less common. The following Free Software programs have been tested with
imip-agent:
{{{#!table
'''Program''' || '''Remarks'''
==
[[http://claws-mail.org/|Claws Mail]]
||
* Supports basic scheduling
* Does not support recurring events
* Does not support the `COUNTER` scheduling method
* Does not support free/busy exchange over e-mail
==
[[http://kontact.org/|Kontact]]
||
* Supports scheduling including methods like `COUNTER`
* Supports recurring events
* Seems to support free/busy exchange over e-mail (although not
transparently) and over HTTP
* Seems to require numerous libraries and KDE components, including the
somewhat unpolished [[WikiPedia:Akonadi]] system
==
[[https://www.mozilla.org/thunderbird/|Mozilla Thunderbird]] (with
[[https://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar|Lightning Calendar]]
extension)<<BR>>
''Also known as Icedove (and Iceowl) in Debian''
||
* Supports basic scheduling
* Supports recurring events but has deficiencies with `RDATE` and `PERIOD`
datetimes, causing variations from the basic event duration to be discarded
* Does not support the `COUNTER` scheduling method
* Does not support free/busy exchange over e-mail, but can be made to
fetch free/busy data over HTTP
}}}
== Notes ==
See [[http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5546#section-3.2.7|RFC 5546 section 3.2.7]]
for details of the `COUNTER` scheduling method.
