Message-ID: <19991209032136.A45704@lsajca1-ar2-011-034.dsl.gtei.ne> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.95.4i Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I might recover some email which my mail reader sucked off my mail spool and dispersed into the ether as it crashed? The mail spool itself is empty, but might there be some log or secondary location where the mail could still exist? Tonight a message arrived from an old friend from whom I had not heard in four years. Naturally, this was the night I was fooling with kmail, trying to find a decent mail reader. Unfortunately, kmail decided that just now was the time to crash and dump everything I had into the bit bucket. I don't believe there is any way to recover the message, but I have to ask to be sure. Can anyone at least suggest a good mail reader which is plain, will save outgoing mail, will let one manage saved messages in some convenient way, and which is fairly configurable?
