==================================
I use Pine occasionally also. I find it the easiest of the text based
e-mail clients to set-up; it's lightweight and quite fast. If you
haven't yet given sylpheed a try, llama, the tarball is a ~2.2mb
download. It is exceptionally fast for a gui mailer and has some very
nice easily configurable features.
I'm writing this from Evolution 1.02 which is very bloated (a la
Outlook or other "gee, I do everything" clients. I usually use this
first thing in the morning when I may have loads of IMAP mail waiting,
along with my 3 popmail accounts. Sylpheed has excellent filtering, but
not for IMAP..., yet! The rest of the day I use Sylpheed (o.7.4), or
occasionally Pine 4.44.
