lynx/elm/sendmail/fetchmail

[johnno]

Hi,
I'm very new to Linux (3 weeks or so) and I'd love to conserve bandwidth, but thus far I can't seem to integrate elm/sendmail/fetchmailvery well (or find out where to configure my SMTP details for sending mail).
Also, if I wish to post, I have to fire up Mozilla, because lynx says
ALERT!: Can't open file for uploading.

Any ideas?
:confused:

I don't quite understand your question. Meanwhile, here some good e-mail links.

Common e-mail tools:
sendmail (http://www.sendmail.net/) - postfix (http://www.postfix.org/) - sends mail to local users (and internet when configured correctly)
fetchmail (http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/fetchmail/) - gets mail from internet pop accounts
procmail (http://www.procmail.org/) - sorts and delivers into separate mailboxes
mutt (http://www.mutt.org/) - mail client that sucks less than all the others

Thanks very much, I'm on my way.
