The Next Generation of Mail ClientsThe Next Generation of Mail ClientsPosted Feb 27, 2004 0:51 UTC (Fri) by jbinpg (guest, #4913)Parent article: The Next Generation of Mail Clients For road warriors who are stuck reading email over 26k dialup connections, GUI mailers are not an option. Mutt over ssh is still the way to go for me and will be until there is broadband everywhere. Jack

Graphical clients via dialup Posted Feb 27, 2004 8:43 UTC (Fri) by djao (guest, #4263) [Link] I routinely use graphical clients at dialup speeds and have been doing so for quite some time. The secret is to view your mail using IMAP so that the graphical client runs locally and only the actual mail message data is sent over the network. Many years ago I wrote a Linux Gazette article on this topic, which is still mostly valid today.The best part about IMAP is that you don't have to give up mutt over ssh! The two can coexist quite happily. I often ssh into the mail machine and run mutt to access the local IMAP mail store. Other times, I use evolution or mozilla mail or pine or even IMP Webmail. All your mail lives in the IMAP repository and you can use any IMAP compatible program to connect to your repository at any time.
The Next Generation of Mail Clients Posted Mar 1, 2004 2:30 UTC (Mon) by leonid (guest, #4891) [Link] I have broadband almost everywhere where I go, but I am still a happy mutt user and no way that this will change in a hundred years to come. ;)I've built (that's actually a process) a very custmized system with mutt, procmail, vim, spamassassin, perl and exim. It is easy to replicate on other machines that I use, and I really doubt that any other MUA can replace it. ...still I am reading all these reviews looking for new ideas in mail processing. ;)
