Hi folks - couldn't find Stephen's original message in my folder, so pardon
the indirect reply.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] sez:

: I use Gnus, the Emacs mail/news reader. It handles large amounts of
: mail very nicely.
: Gnus can sort incoming mail into different folders (aka "groups").
Hi Stephen, I'm seeing an average of 200 to 300 mails a day myself - there are
a few different ways to handle sorting and suchlike. GNUS has a lot of nice
things about it, though I don't think it does any sorting functions for MH
mail. (correct me if I'm mistaken here) Though, the nnmh method works quite
well if you have an external mail sorting app (such as procmail). I haven't
tried GNUS/nnmh with slocal, so I can't speak to that.
Exmh is worth looking into also. Besides having a prettier (tcl/tk based)
interface than xmh it provides a lot of advanced features, including sorting
mail into multiple inboxes on inc. (Look for inc styles "presort", "multidrop"
or "presortmulti" under "Incorporate Mail" in the Preferences dialog.)
Other cool things about exmh: Easy handling of nested folders, good PGP and
MIME support, RichText mail, X-Face support, scans for URI's in message body
and X-URL headers and launching a w3 browser accordingly, provides handy UI
for MH pick and for searching all mails in all folders with Glimpse, etc.
