I fully agree with you. I really like exim+fetchmail+mutt+vim combination.

Yes, I found this program. Its TODO list still talks about including an SMTP module "if there is enough demand for it". I think there will never be a demand for the SMTP module. After all this search, I think pine comes closest to what my friend wants. Maybe Pine will support SMTP AUTH soon (as Suresh Ramasubramanian said ). Till then I think he (my friend) will have to fetch the mails before sending (he is also on softhome and it supports POP before SMTP.) By the way, while searching for the "All Purpose console Mail Program", I found a program called sendEmail (a nice Perl script with enough documentation within the program itself to help me start learning a bit of Perl.) When I learn enough Python programming, I hope to write a simple MUA and interface it with `sendEmail' (after translating it to Python). Anyway, that's my TODO list :-) Sorry for the long mail.
