To add to the "meta operating system" comment - there are also MUA's
in emacs that interact with mh (the emacs of MUAs), and a very
advanced one called VM. Which - if any - are bundled with your emacs
will depend on the distribution. Personally, I use VM, the qmail
redirection facilities, and fetchmail.But I wouldn't advice anyone to
look at the emacs mail readers unless they were already using emacs.
However, this question has as deep a religious character as the
question about "best editor", and is best left that way.
