I have been using exmh on Linux and Unix for years. Exmh is layered on the Berkeley Mail Handler (either MH or NMH). The beauty of this is that MH can be used in a non-graphical environment. Exmh does not handle POP or IMAP directly. While I have my system set up as a server, I do use fetchmail to grab my POP mail off the server. Fetchmail also handle IMAP. On Linux, each user has his/her own account/mailbox, which poses absolutely no problem. There are several ways you set up filters on exmh: 1. Use maildrop, which I dislike. 2. Use procmail. Since procmail is essentially part of the MTA (eg. sendmail), you just set up your .procmairc in your home directory. The man pages are very complete. Procmail handles both mbox files and mh folders. Note that folders maintained by MH are separate directories. Each email message is a separate file in that directory. Exmh displays the subjects for each folder in a panel. It also displays the folders (and uses a 3d effect to indicate that a folder has subfolders. It also displays the most recently used folders. p p wrote:
This might lead to flaming war here, but despite that I'd like to know suggestions for good email-client software...
I have used mozilla -mail, but it is really heavy, though I like it's user-interface and features, possible to handle many accounts, hendling attachments, integration to browser sometimes speeds things up etc
I'd like to know what other good, stable graphical app thera are?
needed: -light -graphical (my girlfriend also has to use that....) -can handle many imap accouts (no other protocols needed) -no need for news-group ability -can handle mail-threads -light
-for linux of course ! -free
Thanks,
