[lug] Thanks, and more newbie requests

[Mike McCallister]

Folks,

Thanks for your help in getting my dual-boot system up and running. I now 
have my second partition automounted and it's doing its job. I also gave up 
on getting the PCI internal modem to work, and went over to CompUSA and 
bought another USRobotics external 56K which Corel recognized instantly.

Realizing that this can be a matter of personal preference, are there any 
good GUI/KDE-based mail clients and/or offline news readers? I have to 
admit being spoiled by Eudora and Free Agent in Windows, but there must be 
something good out there for X.

The key features I'm looking for in a mail client are the ability to file 
mail in folders (preferably using filters), and send mail using multiple 
addresses. I trust that once I've POPped mail from the server, I can always 
read it offline, but if there are some clients that don't do that, I'm not 
interested. I hate tying up the phone line unnecessarily.

For news, I'd just like to have the ability to download headers and read 
articles offline, and set purge requirements for individual newsgroups. I 
haven't found anything in my initial searches that will do that.

Any help in this regard is much appreciated!

Mike
