11/19   I remember someone on here saying that pine is a crappy mail
        program. What mail program would you guys recomend?
                -joesal
        \_ telnet port 110
        \_ if you are female, nmh
                \_ Female?  What's that have to do with it?
                        \_ It has *everything* to do with it.
                          \_ Such as?
                \_Sorry but i am male. Now whats a good mail program?
                  \_ so you really want a good male program...  elm/mh/mh-e
        \_ If you're still overcoming pine withdrawal, try mutt.  If you're
           ready to move onto something smaller and simpler and you're
           used to vi (unlikely if you used pine), then try elm.  It's
           quite good once configured properly, and the version on soda
           has all the exciting patches to make it do mime and pgp shit
           --dbushong
           \_ What if I prefer VIM -- is there an elm-improved?
              \_ just setenv EDITOR to whatever is right ofor you.
                 \_ That's not what I mean.  I mean that the elm interface
                    is a bit clunky, and I was wondering if there was a
                    program like elm, but with a slightly better interface.
              \_ then you obviously havent fully explored the power of ex/ed
                \_ /bin/cat!!!

7/29    How do I get pine to work with mail? I have 1900 mails and I want
        to delete them. Or is there a better one to use? never learned
        'mail'..
        \_ mutt
           \_ so why doesn't alpine work? What setting should I use to have

3/10    What email program do people in Cal CS use nowadays?  In my school days
        people used /usr/bin/mail, then RMail in emacs, then VMail in emacs.
        After my days people used Elm, Pine, Mutt (I forgot which order).  In
        my first two jobs we could tell the seniority of fellow engineers based
        on which email program they use at work, because everyone used what
        they used to use in their school years.  In my last two jobs though,

2/20    There was a failure validating the SSL/TLS certificate for the server
                                          <DEAD>mail.csua.berkeley.edu<DEAD>
        The reason for the failure was

        We have not verified the identity of your server. If you ignore this certificate validation
        problem and continue, you could end up connecting to an imposter server.

6/29    Do I need to enable pine?
        \_ Try alpine.  Pine isn't supported anymore --steven
          \_ alpine not working. are there any config instructions
                for using alpine with csua?

12/9    Does anyone know of a good blogging software that can
        handle blogging entries as well as photo albums?
        Wordpress and the WP Gallery plugin is too tricky to

9/22    Gmail's "conversation feature" drives me nuts! Is there a way to
        disable that and make Gmail act like every other e-mail client on the
        planet? WTF thought this was a nice thing to have on by default?
        \_ Umm, why don't you just use another email service then...
           \_ Umm, I do, which is how I have something to compare to. I get
              mail in at least 4 places only one of which is Gmail. I

4/17    Is IMAP up?  If not, how can I get pine/mutt to read my new
        maildir-based mail folder?
        \_ Pine and mutt both have native maildir support -- they should be
           able to access your inbox without any special configuration.  You
           can also use IMAP if you want, but only the secure version (imaps),
           Let me know if these aren't working for you.  --mconst
