I do use fetchmail. I use IMAP so that I can unify my mailbox across the different methods I use to access it (depending on where I am, e.g., Mozilla, Squirrelmail via secure http, etc, etc.) My biggest complaint is that mutt connects via IMAP, then wants to move the e-mail in the inbox to the same place (inbox) it came from... (not amusing if I hit Y at the wrong time.) -----Original Message----- From: Paul Robinson [mailto:paul@iconoplex.co.uk] Sent: Friday, May 30, 2003 11:24 AM To: Gray, David W Cc: 'freebsd-chat@freebsd.org' Subject: Re: Re: preferred email system On Fri, May 30, 2003 at 09:29:35AM -0400, Gray, David W wrote: > I use mutt in a similar setup. It's handling of IMAP is, well, painful. It Don't use the IMAP. Configure an MTA and where you can have mail delivered direct. Where it needs to come off a remote mail server, grab a copy of fetchmail and make it do it's voodoo. Having an MTA on your local machine for just you is not just luxury - it's why you have Unix. :-) > really > does not do folders well, at all. I use squirrelmail whenever I want to move I use folders all the time. If you configure properly it's really nice, you just have to ] and ! around a bit. It's far quicker than tabbing and arrowing... -- Paul Robinson
