Pine 4.10 is quite nice, and cross-platform. The nice thing about IMAP is that I can access it from almost any platform. When on UNIX boxes, I ssh to my machine and fire up Pine from the mail server, and let the imapd (imap-uw) worry about locking because I almost always leave a client open at home. If you're worried about security, point your IMAP client to your localhost, and use ssh port forwarding to connect to the host securely. Works well in the University environment I'm in. --- Khetan Gajjar (!kg1779) * khetan@os.org.za http://khetan.os.org.za/ * Talk/Finger khetan@khetan.os.org.za FreeBSD enthusiast * http://www2.za.freebsd.org/ Overflow on /dev/null, please empty the bit bucket.
