HI,
Do a search at freshmeat.net for reiserfs. This is a journalling
filesystem sponsored by SuSE, mp3 and others and is already in production
use. ext3 is probably not good for regular use (yet). You need to patch
your kernel and format your HDD for using this. Comes as an option with
SuSE (which is getting costlier day by day).
Fetch your mails from around the world (if the servers support fetching by
any protocol) using fetchmail, configured using fetchmailconf. Read them
using the all encompassing pine (which perhaps you have to compile
yourself if you're using Debian), and send your mails using sendmails
using senmail -q when you connect to the internet.
best wishes,
Indraneel
