I use pine everyday myself. one thing i hate about in, though, is
that iit has no build in filtering. i use procmail to filter email and
that doesnt notify me of new mail, when its in something other than my
inbox. Another thing about pine is that it doesnt support displaying
attached images, like graphical email clients do. One fof the biggest
drawbacks of pine, is the fact that i cant send as anyone but my primary
email account. Im an admin on a server, i have [EMAIL PROTECTED] and
[EMAIL PROTECTED] .. they both go to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (admin is an
alias). when i get mail to my admin account, i like to be able to send as
admin, when getting mail to my nick account, i like to send as nick, as
far as i know i cant do this with pine.
The best email client ive ever used, unfortunately, has been
Outlook Express for MS Windows. If anyone knows of an email client similar
to this for Linux, Xwindows, please let me know. And i believe if someone
developed an email client with Outlooks full funcionality, it would be
greatly appreciated in the linux community, even if it was commercial, i'd
pay if it was like outlook.
XFMail is an ok email client. (i can send as several dfifferent email
aliases).. but its kinda cumbersome as well.
