No sooner than I update [1] than I get an update from Ken [2] about Elm ME+ [3], an opdated version of elm with POP (Post Office Protocol) and IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) support.
Might look into that, but mutt [4] is also decended from elm, has all the features that Elm ME+ has and is completely configurable.
Hmmmm … decisions … decisions …
