Hi all,
I have used Linux in a server environment for quite some time, but
have had little experience with it in a desktop environment. However,
I'm currently experimenting with this a bit. I'm
just a bit curious about something. I'm currently using pine to read and
compose email under Unix. In your opinion, is this the best mail client
to use with speakup, or might I do better to use something like mutt or
cone? F.Y.I., I need remote access to mailboxes via imap. I don't want
to use fetchmail to pull the mail to my local machine.

Hi. I've been using mutt for some time now and although its imap
support is not as well defined as pine's I still like the way Mutt looks
and feels. You can still look at different imap folders but from my
experience you have to know the names of the folders already. If there
is a way to get a listing of imap folders remotely I have not found it.
When I worked at Sprint I used mutt to get my corporate mail and they
said it could only be done with the HP openmail software added to MS
Outlook. What ever <smile>.

I found that the Rubiks cube and Linux are alike. Looks real confusing
until you read the right book. :-)

I know for a fact that Mutt supports IMAP, although I don't use it myself. I
think that it can also create/delete/modify IMAP mailboxes, but not sure. Check
the mutt and muttrc man pages for more info.
As you may have picked up from this list, Mutt can be quite tricky to configure
at times, but it is a very powerful mail client.
I myself have not long started using Mutt, and am still tweaking my config file
to suit my liking.
Don't forget that you have to set up and configure an MTA to handle sending
mail, but if you are already using Pine, I think you may already be aware of
this.

The way my setup is now is that I have a server responsible for sending
and receiving mail. Pine retrieves the mail remotely via imap, and it
sends mail via smtp.

If you get your .muttrc set up well then mutt is a dream to use. It will
connect directly to both pop and imap servers of the ssl and regular
variety. The big issue that many people have with mutt is that it
depends on on a locally running copy of sendmail or one of its varients
to send out mail. Mutt doesn't and likely won't ever connect directly to
a remote smtp server.
I haven't used cone at all and I haven't used pine for a number of
years, but once i got used to mutt I wouldn't want to use pine anymore.
Just my $.02.
