Far be it for me to stomp on anyone's prefered mail tool. I use pine on my isp as a matter of fact, but I do have one question I would ask Betsy before recommending pcpine as a solution. How savy are your front-line service providers? I ask only because I have found pine to be somewhat less than user-friendly when any custom configuration is needed. If your help desk people are sharp and aren't afraid of text-only interfaces, you may be ok; otherwise you may end up scarring them for life.
Personally, I have been using mahogany on both windows and linux. If the development were still moving forward, and there were a chance of seeing ldap integration sometime in my lifespan, I would be recommending it a lot more highly. On the other hand, lotus has made available a new cli interface for something called notes. If they put a gui on it, I can see that taking off in a big way. 8-) Andy Andrew Fant | This | "If I could walk THAT way... Molecular Geek | Space | I wouldn't need the talcum powder!"
