reccommended email client with speakup

reccommended email client with speakup

[Don Raikes]

Hi all,

 

At present I am running all my email through my windows box, but I am looking for suggestions on a "good" accessible email program on debian.

 

I am using Speakup and brltty.  I am working strictly from the console, so thunderbird is not a n option.

 

I need to be able to do email filtering  because I am on a lot of email lists and want the messages filtered by list into separate folders.

 

What other pieces do I need to make such a setup work well?

Don, I am reasonably sure alpine will do all of that, but I think you may find 
later versions at an actual alpine related site

Don,

Not strictly SpeakUp, but you could try installing Emacspeak and use the 
gnus package (part of Emacs by default).  It will do multiple POP and 
IMAP mail accounts, RSS feeds and NNTP.

Agreed,
Alpine is rather the tool.

I use mutt here for reading mail, and maildrop for filtering.

We use mutt around here.  We just keep all our mails in a folder in each of our accounts.  We have no gui on here neither.  We do not want one.  We 
are waiting for clifox to be the ultimate completion of our pure cli system.  

We use mutt and it does what we need. If you look in the manual for the mutt program and configuration, you will probably find that it does all you 
want.  



Hope this helps.

I'm also a gnus fan.  It has a bit of a learning curve, but it is quite
capable.

I used to really love nmh, which is a suite of tools for mail handling.
Instead of working inside a monolithic email program, the nmh user
manipulates their email using various small shell commands.
It's a totally different paradigm.
Unfortunately, it doesn't play all that well with typical modern mail
configurations.  For instance, I keep my mail on a VPS,
and I read it with IMAP, rather than pulling it down to my local machine.
If you're willing to read mail from the shell on your mail server, or
you're willing to pull it down to the local machine using getmail or
fetchmail, then nmh works beautifully.

Agreed. It supports NNTP newsgroups as well, including gmane.org.

I'm in that category; I should perhaps install nmh at some point.

The new tool which is starting to attract attention in the Linux community is
NotMuch (http://www.notmuchmail.org/).

I also use gnus for news, but the emacs interrface with mmh is so much
nicer than using gnus to read Email, that I have a combined arrangement.
I am using sendmail as my mta.

I have used nmh for the last 20 years, and loveit!  Not only does it
give you a suite of small shell commands to work with, but it stores
messages in individual files with in a Mail folder in your home
directory.  That means you can use other utilities on the system to help
manipulate  mail.  It's also expensible, so you can write other shell
commands, or even programs in c or python.  I used to use fetchmail to
get my mail from my isp's server, but something they changed broke it,
so it could no longer authorize itself, and thus, couldn't get mail. 
So, I switched over to something called mpop, and call it from a script
running as a back ground job.  That works quite well, and has the nice
advantage of lettingme play a newmail sound, when ever it detects mail
on the server.
