Netscape6 mail does everything I desire but is slower than a slug. I've tried at least 8 or 10, maybe more, other gui mail clients from the ports and none of them contain all the features of netscape mail but they are all faster. Some won't install at all, some won't connect to my isp's pop server (some will), some are missing too many desired features auto-downloading messages and filtering. So, with that said, I installed Pine and Procmail. I've used Pine a bit in the past at the University, so I am familiar with it. What do I need a pretty gui for anyway, right? I thought procmail could download my email from my isp's pop server, but don't see how. Maybe I need another app yet? What do some of you guys use, to download, filter, and read your mail from so many mail lists? -- Chip Wiegand www.wiegand.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
