Mail client preferred?
Pine, Mutt, Elm, Emacs ... probably others. Anyone care to make a recommendation for a console-based mail client? I'm currently using Kmail. It would be nice if there was a way to transfer Kmail message files to the console client. -- Regards, Brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

Anyone care to make a recommendation for a console-based mail client? I'm currently using Kmail. It would be nice if there was a way to transfer Kmail message files to the console client. There's nothing really to transfer. KMail writes perfectly normal messages files, in either maildir or mbox format (configurable in it's options.) If you use it's default maildir format, mutt will happily use them without change. If you already had mbox format mail folders, then mutt or pine will use them without configuration. I don't know if pine speaks maildir, I don't use it myself. You might have to link KMail's default ~/Mail to ~/mail You should always take care about using multiple mail clients at the same time on the same mail folders (I mean literally at the same time, with both open.) I've used KMail over imap for ages, and if it's not available, ssh and pine, or webmail (Squirrelmail) if ssh isn't even convenient. One mail folder, multiple clients from multiple locations, no problems.

You will have no problems using it together with kmail (which I used to do) but not simultaneously of course. I don't use kmail anymore because there are some oddities about it that drive me insane .. but that is another story.

You'll have to replace postfix as Exim is an MTA but that is worth doing IMNSHO. I was this -.- close to installing Exim today, to play around a little. Sheldon has been doing a great job with the Exim ports, as I can see from the logs, and I will definitely give Exim a shot during the weekend. If anyone has useful pointers that they would like to send to me, I'd be much obliged. My intention is to try installing Exim to replace Sendmail on my workstation at home, and keep notes. Then, at the end of it all, I'll sit down and write a little addition to the Handbook about installing Exim as an alternative MTA in FreeBSD. If anyone of you has something that they would consider a useful addition to a set of notes for Exim, I would be much indebted if you mailed them personally to me.

It seems to be easiest for the simple, straightforward stuff. But, I use PINE for saving off attachments and MUTT for looking at stuff in funny character sets. And, I do all this on a Solaris system via an X running on a FreeBSD machine. Sheeesh.
