Thanks for all the responses, certainly more than I had expected.
I installed mutt and fetchmail. When I ran ./fetchmailconf I got
the following error messages -
chip# ./fetchmailconf
Traceback (innermost last):
File "/usr/local/libexec/fetchmailconf.bin:, line 9, in ?
from Tkinter import *
File "/usr/local/lib/python1.5/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 8, in ?
import _tkinter # If this fails your Python may not be configured
for Tk
ImportError: No module named _tkinter
chip#
I had to install Tk in order to get this far, but here I am. This is quite a
challenge
setting up something to actually download my mail from a public
mail server. I wonder if it would be worth my time to set up a mail
server of my own and not even use my isp anymore. I'm doing that
with a web server.
