Sera. There is a difference between the application that manages SMTP
(Exim, Smail, Sendmail,Qmail---), and and the mail reader,Mutt,
NetscapeMail, Tkmail, Balsa (aack!) Ishmail, ---. Get the idea. Exim is
the easiest and is usually the default to Debian installations. You can
also use Fetchmail to get your mail from servers and rout it to boxes on
your system with procmail.
