I have installed balsa (in the ports) and it is ok. A lot (too many?) dependencies in the port but perhaps all necessary. If you install also procmail you can easily filter message and organize them as you like... Btw I prefer to use mutt in a color xterm :-) I continue to think Eudora (that I use when I am under windog, like now) is the best email program ever made, I don't understand why at Qualcomm they are not planning at least a Linux version. Surely the linux box out are more than the macs and they could reach also other OSes like *BSD under linux emulation.
