G'Day List.

I dont suppose I can call myself a newbie still, I have been blundering =
around in Linux for over 3 weeks now, but I still think I know less than =
1% ;-). But everything I have been doing is via <root>, which I =
understand is dangerous, but I have been having difficulty doing things =
under my user account.

I now wish to be able to use email on my Linux box (Toshiba 440) rather =
than my 'bloatware' desktop. I have tried to use elm and the others that =
come with RedHat but must confess failure. Either this is from ignornace =
or stupidity. I have started reading the doco for sendmail but I am =
afraid I am sinking fast.

I require an email client to be able to access three email accounts on =
two different ISP's. Can anyone offer some suggestions on where I should =
direct my efforts?, currently I seem to be overwhelmed with =
documentation to read, and whilst I am sure all of it is very important, =
reading the relevant things now would be more beneficial.

TIA

Mike
