I use Gmail for this list. I have taught Inbox (Gmail) to put all
messages for this forum into a user folder. Then I use fetchmail to
download only that folder from Gmail and use mutt to read and/or reply
to it on my local PC.
The one slight non-optimal element of this is I still need to mark the
mails in that folder as "Done" occasionally in Inbox, but that is no
great hardship.
I also separately have Evolution wired up to use Gmail, it was no
particular sweat -- what in particular are you having trouble with? I do
seem to recall Google insist you connect to them using TLS or SSL -- no
insecure connections. Beyond that I recall it being straightforward.
