   Does anyone use mh to retreive their mailbox from their Internet
   provider. My provider is more MessyDOS/Windoze oriented and has set up
   a popmail server in his network. I'd like to find a popmail client to
   retrieve my mail and put it in /var/spool/mail/chris so that I can use
   elm or pine to read it on my home box.

No, but I use MH for all my local mail.  You might just try using MH
for everything for awhile and see if you like it.  It's quite
different from the elm/pine paradigm, but I think it's about one of
the best mail-handling systems out there.
