I just tested it in Newyearspup, that is based on Puppy 4.11. So it should work in many puplets, but I did not test that yet. If you use Lucid Puppy or need IMAP, try Tronkels Pet: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=55740&start=1440 Mutt is a console based mailclient. To be able to send mails via SMTP, I included msmtp, that is a small Mail Transfer Agent, so no sendmail is required. Mutt also has inbuilt smtp funcionality, but that is new, and does not work with the german GMX.de. Using msmtp, GMX works. Mails are stored in Maildir-format in /root/MailMutt/. To customize Mutt for yourself, edit /etc/Muttrc. I preconfigured it for POP/SMTP, so you just need to replace my own Mailaddress with yours (and the pop/smtp server):
To test it: type in a console: mutt In Mutt, type "G" to retrieve mails. Type "m" to write a new mail. Note: if you use GMX, you first must retrieve mails, to get a certificate, or you cannot send any! I made the pet from Debian DEBs: http://packages.debian.org/lenny/mutt Dependency libs are included in /usr/lib/mutt /usr/bin/mutt is a wrapperscript, that includes them. msmtp was compiled in Newyearspup, but I did not have all the encryption headers, so it might not work to send encrypted mails. SASL however is supported. http://msmtp.sourceforge.net/ Download (2 MB, 6 MB extracted): http://dotpups.de/puppy4/dotpups/Internet/mutt-1.5.18-6_msmtp-1.4.21.pet Helpfull links (usage, exampleconfigs): http://wiki.mutt.org/?MuttGuide http://www.calmar.ws/dotfiles/muttrc.html http://www.earth.li/~huggie/mutt/muttrc.html Mark _________________ my recommended links |

mark-you rock! i am awed by the amount of time you spent putting this together, many thanks! it seems to work in fluppy (whatever the current version is, i think its called 005?) on an aspire one netbook. i'm sure it will work much better when i learn the commands but i was able to look at email and that's a great start 
thanks again |
