What more control do you need?
Quite a lot..
alpine is ideal, and is the successor to pine.
I have an extensive addressbook, and each entry in the addressbook has a
fcc field. Messages sent to the person specified in the to field are
copied to the folder specified in the fcc field.
Incoming messages are matched to the address book - and the default save
folder is the folder specified in the fcc field.
At the end of all that, all correspondence to a particular person (in and
out messages) is saved to the same folder - so you can see in and out
messages easily.
Copes with large messages quite nicely.
I sent a 100 meg message to a colleague here - the mail server was fine.
Pine (which is what I had then) was fine. His outlook client crashed..
Don't start that arguement over message size please - I remember when mail
systems had limits of 1mb..
Remote access - I can connect over ssh to do mail. So if I have
a remote box to manage, and want to send email from that box, well - it
all works from pine/alpine just fine..
In my view - discussion over mail clients is like
a)Democrat vs Republican
b)Holden vs Ford
c)Debian vs Ubuntu
and go on for ever, with no resolution. At the end of the day, you pick a
client that best fits your needs/ability level.
I am told that you can send email by telnetting to the mail port on the
box and typing the raw sendmail commands........
