[newbie] Mail system -- How?
Hi all, I'm really seeking advise I guess. I'm using Mandrake LINUX 7 and am new totally to LINUX, running it for a couple of weeks now but I tend to use it as my 'base' system and hopefully say bye bye to Windows :) Alas with this I will have to say Bye bye to Eudora - A totally FAB, very configurable Email client. So I need to have a good mail system with LINUX - I don't like KMail at all. I've seen a lot of clients out there - most of which are text based. Obviously I'm used to Eudora which is a Windows/GUI program. Are there any other decent programs there? I've seen PINE which is a text based program. Looks OK! MUTT also looks OK. What along with a client I've seen so many statements like, sendmail, fetchmail etc. etc. I would love to set a decent mail system up under LINUX could someone send me in the right direction? :) Thanks for reading this.

Re: [newbie] Where do Programs Go?
Hi Andy, Boy, it's great to see that you're thinking the same as me! :) I've just installed Linux myself - it's a steep learning curve!! I too am used to the Windows way, although I love DOS etc. Always been a DOS person - Started with it many years ago so as far as the command line, it ain't that bad. :) Wouldn't mind keeping in touch for moral support? :) Glen At 16:29 15/04/00 +0100, andy barnes wrote: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- ~~|| Glen M.

As simple as that! HTH Flupke -- ~~|| Glen M. Chambers ||~~ Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
