(no MIME yet but could be ported from NetBSD (so you will need Heirloom mailx from ports or mpack for MIME and fdm for IMAP). I do not know on DragonFly but in the worst case scenario it is just like FreeBSD. The same is in Cygwin. If you go mutt, alpine, nmh route you need to add MUA as oppose to using one from the base. My advice is pick one and stick to it! In the terms of dealing with huge amount of emails and doing lots of scripting and automatic mail sending stuff nmh is THE best. It also has the best e-mail file system (for archiving) and searching. Mailx is OK for the same purpose but definitely inferior. Alpine is for individual use (sort of Thunderbird of early 90s). I am not that familiar with Mutt. I for example also like Opera e-mail client. It is OK for general use for people who must have GUI. Sylpheed is very good with a GUI. Claws as well. The only one that I really, really dislike in Unix world is Evolution. You can also use nmh with GUI. I think it is called exnm. There is even Emacs interface for nmh. Among old school GUI MUA you can find things like TkRat. Last edited by Oko; 13th May 2011 at 04:28 PM. |

Perhaps with time I will be prave and more talented enough to trust my skills on doing it the right way; how ever I am heavily considering it. that's why I made sure that the linux portion is so small to be forced on using OpenBSD and getting things done. Quote:
Heirloom mailx from ports is still called nail mail(1) from base, will still not sure about it too. this thread is much informative so far |

I got mutt and fdm up and running finally, even better; I learned how to make fdm send each mail to a specific folder, I learned how to make mutt change identities a long with changing mail directories.
all this is fine, except. mutt still do not love yahoo, when I tried sending a test email its either time outs or SASL Failed. my other imap account for some reason it time outs too when I try to send a test email. the only working accounts with mutt are the gmail's HELP! |

I had the same problem. After some searching, I removed mutt and replaced it with mutt-[version]-sasl. Everything is in perfect working order now.

[SOLVED]
@Daffy
I am using the same pkg you mentioned (mutt-1.5.21v0-sasl) and that's my smtp rule Code:
set smtp_url= smtp://mr.vieq@smtp.mail.yahoo.com:587/ using port 587, SASL authentication failed //update! To hell with yahoo! http://www.crasseux.com/linux/ mutt needs to be patched in order to use it with mutt, I moved all my stuff from yahoo to gmail and that's it!
