Why is the advantage of mutt, or any :text-based email client? - uses any editor you want (like any Unix mail client) - has extensive hook mechanism (although choice of actions isn't) - spawn subshells to do whatever - tags messages without moving them to another folder/mailbox What is thebat like for speed? Mutt is very fast at reading and sorting large mail folders. BB -- Bevan Broun ph (08) 9380 1587 Computer Systems Officer fax (08) 9380 1065 Dept.

Re: checking pop mail in the background

First of all, I'd recommend the approach to getting fetchmail. In the daemon mode, it'll automatically fetch email in the background and you won't notice anything (except that the line is busy with some traffic...). Im using a perl program called pop_perl5, which doesnt require sendmail running on the local machine and has a daemon mode. I make an ssh tunnel first: ssh -f -L 1110:popserver:110 localhost 'sleep 7d /dev/null /dev/null' and then configure pop_perl5 to use localhost:1110 as the pop server. This keeps my mail arriving all week to my localhard drive. Then I use rsync to sync my mailboxes to a network share that is backed up. Im very happy with the speed of mutt with local mail spool and folders. BB -- Bevan Broun ph (08) 9380 1587 Computer Systems Officer fax (08) 9380 1065 Dept.

And it can also be configured to use an ssh-tunnel for the pop-retrieval. Yes I did think fetchmail required a local smtp, glad Im wrong. I might give it another look as it seems to be what most people are using. BB -- Bevan Broun ph (08) 9380 1587 Computer Systems Officer fax (08) 9380 1065 Dept.

If you think it should be purely text based and have some ideas on how to do it then that's o.k. too - one doesn't rule out the other. The perfect solution would be to have both, indeed :-) I think that a purely text-based one could be easily done with Dialog+Perl (or sh, but I think Perl is better for this task). IMHO, at least. And someone could wrap it up in a cgi script so a web interface is used with the config file mailed to the user. BB -- Bevan Broun ph (08) 9380 1587 Computer Systems Officer fax (08) 9380 1065 Dept.
