all that talk reminded me of the good old time of using alpine, and looking on the web for few minutes I realized how simple it was to setup alpine with my gmail account. It's quite breeze and really sweet how I can connect to all my account right there.

It made me wonder why does puredyne doesn't have a solid consol client for the email ? I think it could be great to have mutt there by default (whit all the backend stuff)? Or at least some better solution than evolution that doesn't really make any sense to me. just some ideas On Tue, Nov 23, 2010 at 6:40 PM, dlm <[email protected]> wrote: >> I'm still tempted to fiddle with wanderlust for the geek cred... > > After KMail crashed this morning, I had another go at configuring wanderlust > and... so far, I think it's exactly what I'm looking for.
