recommend an ncurses email program?
by jr_bob_dobbs from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5GGK6)
Back in 2005 or so, when I was a Linux noobie, I ran this complicated arrangement of sendmail, procmail, fetchmail and mutt to read and send mail. I liked that it was ncurses and I liked that it could handle attachments in a simple and clean way (let you extract them to file for later perusal). I disliked that it was a a juggling act of multiple programs and configurations.
At some point, many years ago, during a distro switch and fresh install, I decided that that had been too complicated and just ran either thunderbird or the email part of seamonkey. This was simple to set up: tell the program the server the email account name and the password. Bam, done.
Now, I would like to take email to an ncurses-based program, but with one binary, not four plus, with a single simple configuration file to set everything up.
Can anyone recommend one, please?
Thank you.
