Hi List For a couple of reasons I've started thinking about getting weaned off of KMail. I'm partial towards Mutt, but I'd like some thoughts about options regarding the 'surrounding' MDA/MTA apps. Or if someone could point me to a summary of which apps do what/how... Like 'natural' combinations of: fetchmail+formail/procmail/+postfix/sendmail ...or something. My primary concerns are: Not losing mail in the transition, and 'rebuilding' the filtering that I have in KMail. Secondary concern: Eventually moving the old/archived mail to be accessible from Mutt. At this point I'm trying to decide *which* combination is right for me. And RTFM is almost 'too much information'... Thoughts, pointers? Regards, Jon Clausen -- .signature ;)

What I use is postfix + fetchmail + procmail + mutt. This is the best combination of programs for me in a mail environment. postfix - mail transfer agent (replaces sendmail) fetchmail - downloads mail from multiple servers and delivers to postfix procmail - MDA, filters and delivers mail to mail boxes mutt - the ultimate console MUA for mail power users ;) I actually have procmail take over mail delivery through the .forward file. You can easily configure postfix to use procmail for ALL local mail delivery, but I am the only one using my laptop. Fetchmail can be run in daemon mode, or through cron which is how I run it.

Hi List

Then start using all the agents out there. You will quickle weed it down to one or two you really like and soon after realize there can be only one. :-) -- Mads Martin Jørgensen, http://mmj.dk "Why make things difficult, when it is possible to make them cryptic and totally illogic, with just a little bit more effort?" -- A.
