I use exmh to read my mail, and I like it pretty well. Now I'm starting to travel some, so I'm looking for the best way to access my mail when I'm on the road. The raw MH commands leave me cold. I tried running exmh on the local machine with the display going over a PPP link to the X server on my laptop. That's really too slow to be reasonable, surprise surprise. What I'd like to do is to be able to access my mail more or less interchangeably whether I'm on my main machine or on my laptop. IMAP seems ideal for that. But as far as I can tell, the only Unix MUA that works with IMAP is Pine. I'm looking into Pine and it might turn out to be just fine for my needs. But I thought I'd ask what others do about this. In particular, have any of you found a way to use exmh with IMAP? John -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
