Mac OS X folks like myself are fortunate to have Fink (http://fink.sourceforge.net) -- which is a port of the Debian package management tools. I've installed precompiled ports of the apps you listed as well as mutt (oh and procmail /does/ work - it's preinsatlled) and haven't had any problems that weren't directly caused by my newbieness. -- Ryan Singer :: http://feltpresence.com "The reason conservatives cohere and radicals fight: everyone agrees about fears, no one about visons."
