Thanks for your reply. You email has shown me I may not know what
I'm looking for here. I'm using the netscape mail program with pop
right now. What I would like to do is ssh into my box here at home
from work and read my mail so I thought I would switch to a text
based mailer. Maybe all I need is a text based mailer that supports
pop and filtering if there is such an animal.

As far as receiving mail I was planing on using procmail or
fetchmail to do that. Am I thinking wrong that I can use exim to
mail out and procmail or fetchmail to snag my pop mail from my isp?
Thanks,
