Re: combo GUI/text mail client

[Speed Blue <julien.lemoine@wanadoo.fr>]

You can use fetchmail to get mail from server (fetchmail-ssl for ssl pop3), fetchmail copy mail in local mailbox.
and after you can read your mail with :
  - sylpheed for exemple (GTK interface)
  - mutt in text mode

You must configure the two mail client for use the same directory.
