|I don't know if mc will do mail or not -- if you are looking for |something sensible why not use mutt? I can verify mutt can send and |receive gmail, having become disenchanted with the service provided by |my ISP. You'll want to be sure to use the sendmail provided by |postfix (just install postfix: it'll de-install the old sendmail if |it's there). You'll need google's certificates: there's a good |(well, usable) set of instructions on setting it all up at:
|http://www.linuxexpert.ro/Linux-Tutorials/fetchmail-for-gmail-accounts.html OK thanks, I'll check that; but apparently mutt won't scroll it's mail-directory, unless it's on-line. Which is absurd for me. My on-line time is expensive. My proper system [ETHOberon] which I could use before the local ISPs collapsed could fetch the articles-directory with one-shot. And at any time LATER when going on-line again, could fetch or delete [from the ISP's server] any article in the local directory, with one shot. The item was deleted from the local directory, when the ISP-deletion was signalled as done. Since mutt doesn't do any of the transport/fetching, and manipulation of the files, eg. for extracting/modifying parts is less transparent than mc, mutt seems to add no value for me. I need to have access to the article-dir that I downloaded [and paid for] yesterday, to fetch/delete any article tomorrow. |fetchmail will pull gmail Inbox contents down to your pc where mu |can display in threads, and allow you to compose replies in vim, all |very efficient. Admittedly my old system didn't thread the mails; but fetching and displaying the article-dir is trivial. And the rest of mutt's job is done more transparently by mc. |> gmail needs TLS/SSL |> Is TLS/SSL a part of `sendmail`, or will `sendmail` call TLS/SSL? | |postfix's sendmail will use it if you tell it to, and get those |certificates installed That's the main punishment. Thanks for the input. == Chris Glur. _______________________________________________ mc mailing list https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc
