<P>I would like to stress that there are many excellent E-Mail programs available for Linux. It is always a matter of personal preference when selecting which one you will use.
|
|
That said, I will tell you that I have been using a program called "TkRat" for over 2 years now - and I love it. It's a graphical program that has all the features you would expect from a quality mail program, it's easy to learn how to use, it's powerful, and it's free. For these reasons, I'll only be covering TkRat in this HOWTO.
|
|
<P>The first thing you need to do is download TkRat. You can either obtain the sources and compile them, or you can get the binaries.
|
|
<P>Here are some URLs for the software:

<P>When you have downloaded the tarfile, you are ready to install it on your system.

tar -zcvpf tkrat-2.0b3.tar.gz

If anything fails, consult the INSTALL and README files located in the tkrat-2.0b3 directory. Note that you will need a version of tcl that is greater than 8.1 for this to compile. You can obtain the latest tcl from
