Re: i3
We do have an excellent HOWTO for mutt, written by slartie, and as alternative we could look into Pine/Cone (Yeah why not!). I mean, it was _the_ mail reader those days.
Let me dig into the manpages :D

CLI Send/Receive Mail
Yesh, not just (just not) mutt!
SendEmail
Very no-nonsense SMTP mail dispatcher.
Check the manpage, a command typically looks like this:
----------------------------------------------------------------
nmh
Message handler.
Best is to get started like this: read the fucking manpage (it's no excuse!) and
and edit .mn_profile later. Have fun. Awfully complicated :D
----------------------------------------------------------------
fetchmail
As the name suggests.
Then set it up:
change the DAEMON entry to yes. Save and exit. Create as root
and add this:
Save it, chmod 600 it, and make it chown for fetchmail. The nice thing about the config file: there, with and here are ignored by fetchmail and can be used to make the config file easier to read. "is" points to the name of the local mailbox, by the way.

Didn't know there were so many options. Interesting stuff.

Re: i3
I use cone, but I have 2 email accounts, and maybe 4 mails on a busy day.
I dunno how crap it is, but it is pretty easy to set up.

Re: i3
I wish I had something useful to say about it, I found it on inconsolation.
He has the info to add a gmail account, which is what I have.
So in my case, it is just a case of following exactly what it said there.

Found it also on Inconsolation. I have to say it sounds impressive. Was browsing the homepage. If I have time I might write a how-to after trying it out.

Re: CLI Send/Receive Mail
Not sure, I just post it here for now:

Another CLI mail client I never heard about and even in the Debian repos, called sup-mail.

Yes, it is easier as we thought. Easy makes it attractive, too.

Re: i3
sylpheed is a fork of it, and IIRC the plugins are separated in claws, so they grow with time (in amount). originally claws was meant to be a test bed for functions that were planned to be implemented in sylpheed.

excellent - I was worried that I went offtopic a lot.
