Greetings:
This list helped a lot when I had some basic questions about window managers.
Now I have some general questions about email agents.

I have a dial up PPP connection; am the only "user" for my machine, don't
have plans on running servers for others. I just need a simple,
straightforward method for retrieving and sending my email from my ISP.

Have decided I will use Pine for a MUA, (it was the default on my former
ISP and got to like it.) I have been trying to set up Fetchmail and
sendmail to do the rest of the heavy lifting, but have run into some
problems with sendmail config. I am using the info off the NetBSD faq. They
warn you that semdmail can be cranky. (when I try to run the sendmail
routine it tells me "../m4/cf.m4  no such file", even though I can  see it
in front of me. I'll keep troubleshooting)

So I am wondering, what are folks with similar needs running out there,
whats working? No holy wars about the "best", I only want to hear about
whats working and whats easy, ok easier to use.

TIA and to happy holidays to all on the list. Your support is appreciated.
