hello folks,

any suggestions for the best way to set up e-mail for dial-up 
home use?

I'm used to Mercury (Win32) which will send and fetch mail.  Is 
there a simple Linux equivalent?

At the moment, I'm trying getmail, but it complains that my 
Sylpheed mailbox is not a "maildir" or an "mbox". I've tried 
setting it up to deliver to ~/Mail/ or to ~/Mail/inbox/
(with and without the trailing slashes), but neither works.  The 
Sylpheed folder tree shows the mailbox as Mailbox (MH).  Maybe 
that's why getmail won't or can't deliver?

Is there a simple SMTP server I can use for sending mail without 
going through a relay or an ISP.  With several e-mail accounts 
per member of the household, direct SMTP delivery is about the 
only feasible way to send (even if it's only a few pieces each 
time) while fetching POP mail. 

thanks.
