tty mail client

[Adrian Davey]

Hi folks,

I'm looking for a mail client that is damn small that is only tty
based. It needs to be simple to setup and able to cope with pop3 and
imap v4. newsgroup support would be great too. I found a project
called Grin-tty which has what i want be alas the website has gone and
no-way to contact the auther. Has anyone got any ideas?

Many thanks

Ade.

Don't do mutt and pine do this? I think pine caters for
newsgroups, but I could be wrong. Anyway, unless I am confused by what
you mean by "tty".

Pine does allow reading of newsgroups aswell as providing imap/pop3, ldap,
it's also very configurable.

He's probably just after an email client that works well via a virtual
teminal or a console.

We used Pine at university - easy enough for even language students to use!
My wife still uses it, preferring it over the likes of Outlook. It is IMHO
easier to use as it presents relevant options at the right time.

Pine is great but not GPL'ed, any others around that are ?

mutt <URL:http://www.mutt.org/> should fit the bill here.

IIRC there are a couple of NNTP patches for mutt. You should be able to find
them via the mutt web site.
