So I am just curious if there is any POP users still out there
Me! ... :)
And what are some pros and cons switching to IMAP?
Why should I need IMAP?
With `fetchmail', that I use, it seems I can even keep emails on the
remote POP server - I usually just don't need that.
And what program do you use on Fedora for your email?
Mutt.
But I'd recommend clawsmail easily to anyone needing reliable email
software.
The reasons I have mutt is simply because I've had it for decades;
except for an `outlook' account I got sendmail working (I'm still
wondering how I did that); and I really like the looks of email in a
decently coloured terminal.
That clawsmail feature when setting up an email account - just one
example - to find the server ports for an account by simply telling
the program to find them - that's just wild ..
There's one thing I miss in clawsmail, and that is permanent mail
logs, i.e. logs that are saved somewhere to disk after closing the
program.
