hi, just wonder if u can help me with the following... i'm using freebsd with 56k dialup only (no lan) and i'm using pine to get my mail + news. the problem is that pine does not cache mail + news in the way that other mail clients do. so, if i wanna scroll down etc, it takes long time and i can see it connecting to the remote (imap) mail server. the situation is much worse when it comes to newsgroups. if i wanna look for a group, pine downloads all the list of groups (not just the differences between the list it downloaded last time and the list of the news-server), which makes it a real pain to browse through newsgroups. also within a newsgroup, scrolling is very difficult and slow... i posted in the pine group and got a reply saying that i should look into things like fetchmail + leafnode. because i wanna sort this thing as soon as possible so i can concetrate on other stuff i got in mind, could you give me any advice from your experience? has any of you fixed pine to work with local cashing? which mail + news clients do you use? thanks in advance for any help...
