Note that text-based tools split the download-from-ISP, read-the-email, and upload-to-ISP functions. I use getmail to download email. I've used mutt for years as my mail-client (reading email). It's text-based, but you can have it invoke W3M to read HTML email as text email. For the filtering function, I use procmail. It allows me to read from multiple ISPs and direct email into multiple mailboxes (a many-to-many relation). For MTA (sending email out) functionality I use ssmtp. -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
