May I encourage the use of sylpheed, available for both Linux *and* Windoze?
(The windoze version may be found via http://www.gnuwin.org/ ) Assuming I *had* to run something under a GUI that used POP3 I'd choose sylpheed; I was underwhelmed by Mozilla. Needless to say I prefer mutt and I was an early user of elm (back in the mid-1980s) when it seemed like the ONLY useful e-mail client; tying my linux system into Chris Nadovich's jtan.com domain via UUCP means that I have control of all of my own e-mail addresses LOCALLY. Add to the "store and forward" nature of UUCP and a lot can be done even when roadrunner is down, there's no need for modem connectivity just to read your mail. -soup -------------------- John R.

(Almost) without exception, they don't get infected with email-borne virues. Free-of-charge choices include Netscape and Mozilla (which also avoid IE's failings). I use PINE on Linux for this list, but it's also available for Windows. It may require cygwin, but I guess that doesn't bother many people here;-) -- Cheers John.
