I would get 3 programs to do this. A POP3 client (PopTart or whatever), procmail and pine. Use procmail to sort your hundreds of messages into folders (I've got a folder for each mailing list I'm on) and to filter spam (well, help filter it anyway). Then use pine to read the mail. You'll need to write a short script that downloads you mail with the POP3 client and feeds the mail file to procmail for sorting but that's pretty easy. l8r, Nate --- Nathan C.
