I'm interested in getting some input into how to set up email on a
Debian system. The conditions are:
Postfix MTA
mutt MUA
ISP-provided webserver
POP3 account
The requirements are:
multiple email accounts received
multiple email accounts sending
access all accounts via one standard shell user account
The preferences are:
access all accounts via one instance of mutt
More conditions, requirements, and preferences may occur to me later,
but that's what comes to mind right now. I'd like to solicit ideas for
how best to handle this, with pros and cons for alternate approaches.
This seems to be a badly underdocumented collection of requirements for
implementation with console-based mail user agents, which I find mildly
annoying. Please give me any information you may have about what
approaches might be taken, including informed opinions about the
benefits and detriments of various approaches.
