Here's what I'd like to have: a mail client that I can access via a nice, flashy GUI when I'm sitting at my desk, or via a simple text-mode interface when I'm connecting remotely.
Actually, it's my wife I'm primarily thinking about. She uses our computer at home (Debian, natch) to read/send mail using Netscape. She also occasionally connects from her parents' house, or from work using ssh and getting a simple shell (text) interface. Right now, she uses pine for this, but this sucks because: * netscape slurps up all read mail into its own 'nsmail' directory, so she can only read new mail * netscape and pine don't (can't?) share addressbooks, so they either get out of sync, or require more attention than one would like to offer them I have been looking for such a beast, without any luck. Gnus works pretty well for me, but as I'm trying to *stay* married, I'm unwilling to inflict Gnus on my wife at this time. Any ideas? -- joe
