[SOLVED] Re: Searching for a mail client
Ok guys, there it is ...
I finally managed to configure mutt and it works fine. Just a little tuning with the .muttrc file and there it works fine.
Thanks a lot for all your answers.

Alexandre

Definitely mutt. Though you will have to do a little homework to
configure it.
Start here, and then look for the many excellent hand-holding
tutorials online. The key concept is that Mutt does mail like nobody's
business but you need other small Unix tools (like, eg Exim or
Sendmail to SEND the mail; fetchmail or getmail to GET the mail; and
Maildrop or Procmail to put the mail in the right boxes.) Read about
how this works FIRST. Then install. If you like keyboarding, then Mutt
is for you. You can lose your mouse and not even notice for hours at a
time.

There are tutorials for this. I did it two weeks ago. The getting is
easy. The sending is a bit trickier. Try searching on "Exim gmail ssl"
or variations thereof.
