    No.  There is not.  Many people will point you to Netscape, mutt,
procmail, fetchmail, blah-forking-blah.  Do *NOT* believe them.  Sure, it
works, after you hack it all together and switch your thinking a total 180
degrees to something archaic and idiotic.  Simple answer, no.  It is a *BIG*
bone I have picked with the free *nix community for years now.  I'd much
rather install VMWare just for a decent mutli-account mail client than ANY
suggestion they *think* is viable.
