I really like Mutt. It is higly configurable, has the ability to do color, supports message threads making it great to follow mailing lists, and does not come with an editor, it lets you use whatever you are comfortable with. When paired with Vim, it's unstoppable. It also is supposed to suppot POP, but I have not tried it. check out http://www.mutt.org for more details. If you like it, it is in the ports collection. -- Damien Tougas Converging Technology Solutions, Inc.

Balsa, also a decent interface but refuses to wrap aty 80 characters, though it does show me unread messages, postilion, well, a bit difficult to understand, i couldnt even figure out how to setup my pop3 info to retrieve my mail. id say if balsa and spruce got together it would be killer, also looked at ishmail but could not get it to build, under FreeBSD, suggestions welcome... > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
