I have installed Linux and now I would like to start sending and receiving mail. I would like to send and receive mail to the smtp server and from the pop server from my ISP. My computer is a stand-alone machine, so there is no local mail.
What is, in my case, the best package for mailing? The book 'Running Linux' (O'Reilly) suggests using smail and elm, but I have the feeling smail is for setting up a mailserver. Which I don't need because I connect to my ISP's mailserver. I can use netscape for this, but I would appreciate a mail system a mail system that receives mail in the background, without me having to start X and netscape every time. Thanx, Robert-Jan Kuijvenhoven
