I was like you until not that long ago, mostly using pine (which I presume is what Alpine is or comes from). It got too cumbersome to deal with attachments and other "modern stuff" though (colleagues using MS Word to send their email, and I couldn't always just ignore those), and with kmail I don't regret it at all. > whatever it's called), it pulls the rug out from underneath Alpine. I You mean Apple Mail? I can imagine it wreaks havoc if you have loads of mail in your IMAP folders: it wants a copy of all of that, if it pleases you or not. I used Apple Mail on 10.6 though, and usually ran a parallel Sylpheed client, both with access to my local imap server. I rarely ever had issues, though on occasion I did have to do a `killall -1 imapd`. Anyway, if you really hate GUI MUAs so much, you can easily send email from your Mac through your FBSD server - I'm guessing you already have a terminal open : #> telnet FreeBSDServer.local 25 helo Mac mail from:<myself> rcpt to:<[email protected]> subject: a really not gooey email Je suis Davie . quit ;) R. _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
