GW supports POP3/imap, right? So just about any Linux mail program should work that understands pop3/imap. You won't get the scheduling and other features, but it sounds like you don't care about those.
Sort of. When using pop3, if you delete a message, it dosn't delete it
out of your pop3 mail box. So you periodically have to go in through
groupwise and delete your mail. The imap functionality isn't much much
better. Mozilla mail client is the only mail client that recognizes
their format. (tried KMAIL,StarOffice 5.2 and Evolution ( a new gnome
mail client). It also dosn't support any of my biff mail checkers, all
report errors when trying to see if i have new mail
What about using fetchmail and then letting your MUA of choice run on
your own machine, talking to $SPOOL (the file) and port 25 (your MTA
of choice).
I don't know much about fetchmail, so It looks I'll be looking at more
How-to's....
pop3 is fully capable of deleting mail. Now, you may not have a fully
functional pop3 implementation, that's another story. But there is a
delete action. Just make sure you don't ask your pop client to leave
mail on the server.
That's exactly what I mean. Groupwise dosn't implement pop3 fully. I
make sure my delete messages on server is checked all the time
Thanks
