Hi, I would like a program that I could setup that will get the time
from the internet every boot up would be enough any ideas. Also I want
a easy to use email program that works well with speakup that will allow
me to sort messages by subject and when you delete a subject it will
delete the messages in that subject. Want it to be easy to configure
work well with speakup and easy to use thanks.

Well, I always get nervous when people give out a list of features, but insist things must be easy, because I'm of the belief that easy and feature rich are rather antithetical. So, I won't comment about easy. I will tell you that most of us on this list use either pine or mutt for email. You probably already have mutt, or could easily get it for your distro. Mutt would be my recommendation, but pine is a good choice, too. Whether you use mutt or pine, you'll need to tweak the configuration in order to make the mail program blind friendly. PS: In mutt you can delete a thread of messages by pressing ctrl-d. Is that what you would call easy? PPS: To edit the mutt configuration, you edit a text file. Pine has a built in configuration editor. > > > > _______________________________________________ > Speakup mailing list > Speakup@braille.uwo.ca > http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup -- Janina Sajka Phone: +1.202.494.7040 Partner, Capital Accessibility LLC http://www.CapitalAccessibility.Com Chair, Accessibility Workgroup Free Standards Group (FSG) janina@freestandards.org http://a11y.org If Linux can't solve your computing problem, you need a different problem. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

You're right. I honestly don't remember when I first found a server host address that I've now used for years with rdate: time-b.nist.gov However, you may as well figure out how to set your system up with ntp. Then you can just forget all of this, and your clock will always be correct. http://www.pool.ntp.org/ PS: You probably also have an ntpdate command. jim grimsby writes: > Hi, ok now I got rdate ok it is asking for a host name I checked the > info pages no recommended hosts so how the hell do I know witch host to > use.

You will need a script or a cron job to call rdate. In my view, mutt beats any mail client I've ever used in DOS or Windows. Hope this helps.

Reid @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux. To set your system time with one or more time servers on internet, I very much recommend `ntpd` (is there anything else?). Ntpd can be set up to get time from one or more servers, and can serve time for systems on your LAN if desired. Chances are that is patiently sitting on your hard drive as you read this, eagerly waiting for you to set it up and get it running. As for the email client with the grouping/threading features you describe, it looks like `mutt` may do the job, and there are probably others as well. HTH, and have a _great_ day!
