You could try PINE - fully functional console Program for Internet News and Email. Supported protocols SMTP/IMAP4 (but not POP3). With or without SSL/TLS. I use PINE since 1997, happy and satisfied. +-------------------------------------------+ ! CANMOS ISP Network ! +-------------------------------------------+ ! Best regards ! ! Igor V.
