I found this program to have unbearably many problems ("small hiccups" put nicely). Coming from Eudora, I never thought I would be using Netscape Mail, but it seems to be the only decent thing around for a simple, and fairly feature-rich PPP mail client. Does anyone have any suggestions for nice, feature-rich. "big-button" PPP mail clients (which are dial-up friendly)? chris - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

Instead, I have fetchpop fire up as a daemon when I start my PPP connection, and I have xfmail look at the mail spool to get the mail. I had to do it this way to keep xfmail from firing up a ppp session even when I am not online. --- Kim C.

I have one or two that seem nice to me. I come from a eudora and a really nice little one called The_Bat. I think that tkrat offers a lot of functionality including some pretty nice database engine tools for email. The other that is quite nice is ishmail. I saw one on the linux applications and utilities page called arrow but only get seg faults when running it. I dont need a mail program which sorts or filters since I make uses of procmail to do that. If you want a console based program, mutt is small, lean, and canine. He wags his tail around your mail!! :) -- Michael E.
