Hi,
I use Kmail for my email browsing, and rather like it. However, I would like
to be able to download my email without firing up X, and would like the email
to be filtered and saved in the mbox formatted folders I use with kmail.
Now, IIUC, fetchmail will fetch all the messages from my remote accounts and
save them in the /var/spool/mail directory where sendmail would save mail,
until my mail cliient would request it. What I want is one step further:
saving the messages in my personal inbox, and may be even apply filters.
I would also like a text based mail client which will neither mind nor confuse
kmail.
Can mutt do all the above? (and I understand I will have to write every filter
twice, once for kmail and once for mutt or whatever)
Should I use a combination of fetchmail and mutt or fetchmail and pine, etc.?
Will fetchmail leave the from and to addresses untouched, or will it change
the to address to <my username>@localhost (my machine has no alias or fixed
IP address)?
