X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 19 Dec 2004 03:48:46 -0000 Need some advice here... I would like to change my mail client from thunderbird to a text based client so I can email from anywhere using just ssh (don't like "web based" clients, too slow). I would like to try mutt being that it's a very popular text client but I have many questions about it. so can someone at least point me in the right direction(s) (faqs, docs, how-to's, anything)... How do I get my old email (from thunderbird, mbox?) into mutt? Can mutt handle um like 5+ email address and have them all separated and be able to send from diffrent email accounts? If I remember right mutt is just a mail reader, so how do I get mail to and sent from mutt? How does it handle hyperlinks, if I select something will it open up in firefox or whatever? Message filtering, for example I have all the different freebsd mailing lists automatically put into different folders, and junk mail sorting? Speell check? How do I set the thing up, config file help? I have more questions, I just can't think of them at the moment.
