I'd recommend mutt, mostly for it's threading and speed. It also has some rather powerful features you may find useful. However, mail filters are often far more useful than any MUA for handling large volumes of email. I use procmail. You can find both in the ports collection. - Ben On Mon, Oct 19, 1998 at 01:47:14AM +1300, Andrew McNaughton wrote: > > I'm interested to know what other people consider to be the better client > programs for handling large ammounts of email.
