Hi, all!
I've recently started using grml for rescue purposes. First of all, I
would like to thank the team for developing such a magnificent distro.
Bravo!
Now for the question. I used to be a Windows user, and a MS-DOS user
before that. About an year ago I switched to Linux. I decided to give my
Email routine a bit of a twist by using grml for Email and backing up
the msgs to my USB stick.
However, I am completely lost in the vast array of software involved and
need a quick tour of what old-school text-based mail is about and what I
need to know in order to make a quick (and dirty) setup.
What I want to do is:
1. set up POP access (using SSL) to my Gmail.com account,
2. filter mailing list messages and etc. into different folders,
3. send mail using Gmail.com's SMTP server,
4. locating and backing up messages to USB stick.
I've googled about quite extensively, but it's just too much info for an
absolute CLI mail beginner.
Thanks,
B
