It's a Eudora-like mail program for X that supports POP3, IMAP, and local mailboxes. It has very nice filtering rules that can be setup without too much difficulty. It supports both MH and MBox mailboxes, and has integrated PGP support that I know works with 2.6.2, and it has an option for PGP 5.0, I just haven't tried it. It also has an address book for nicknames and whatnot. So, try it out, we may already have a possible solution for part of #4. When you are not connected to the phone, it does not die. If it tries to check the mail, you can press the stop button on the main toolbar and it aborts the attempt and lets you read/write messsages. > If we can accomplish _just_ these four things with our code-project > resources, plus get a native Oracle 8 port, I think they would give us a > big boost in unit installs.
