hi everyone. I'm asking this here because I know that cpunks spend a lot of time in email. I'm looking for some GUI software that can deal well with
1. multiple internet providers - i.e., if I have multiple providers, I would like the software to be able to easily deal with them all, without having to retype IP addresses etc. into dialog boxes
it is trivial in Unix, write a TCL/TK script that would give you a nice dialog with a pretty button for each connection, and call a different shell script for each button. That's what I use.
2. multiple email accounts - i.e. the mail software is not going to use merely one POP account, but should be able to have different email addrs and passwords over POP
popclient or .forward are your friends.
3. multiple mailing lists - I'd like a way to sort incoming mail into separate folders/directories based on header fields, and a way to automate this. (i.e. not have to go through the same procedure each time of typing the fields etc.)
procmail is your friend
I am aware of Netscape's mail features, which don't really handle much of the above. also, I suspect many people require some combination of the above, so there is probably software out there to do it.. at least there is a demand.
also, I'm aware of procmail but would prefer something that supports a GUI interface.
