That looks cool, but you misunderstood me. *They consider email itself
hard to use!* I've been pointing some of my geeky friends at mutt for
years, and even they don't get it. How hard is it to check your
mailbox once a day? Apparently too hard for them. mutt? Rocket
science! mutt's always been drop dead simple and easy to train for
me. For other people, not so much. No, I don't get it either.

I've spent a few months testing a free account at mail.com and it's
worked fine for me. 3-5 UCE per week, and it just works. I believe
they used to be called AOL. :-| Huh.
I used to pop mail from my ISP and filter with procmail. Now, I'm
trying to figure out how to use imapfilter in its place instead.
