Note that text-based tools split the download-from-ISP, read-the-email, |
| 11 |
and upload-to-ISP functions. I use getmail to download email. I've |
| 12 |
used mutt for years as my mail-client (reading email). It's text-based, |
| 13 |
but you can have it invoke W3M to read HTML email as text email. For |
| 14 |
the filtering function, I use procmail. It allows me to read from |
| 15 |
multiple ISPs and direct email into multiple mailboxes (a many-to-many |
| 16 |
relation). For MTA (sending email out) functionality I use ssmtp. |
