I'd like to switch from a GUI email client, currently Kmail to a non-GUI one, either mutt or gnus. I understand the advantages of doing so, but apparently need some help getting started.
I think I can deal with most of the configuration issues with patient manual readings and config file clonings and dorkings. Receiving is no problem, since I currently run getmail to download mail to my spool file, and Kmail reads from the spool file, not POP. The part I don't understand is the sending part. Right now I just tell Kmail that my sending protocol is SMTP and my server is mail.foo.com, and it works. With mutt, and probably gnus, do I have to have a sendmail-type program configured somehow to do the SMTP for me? I've been trying to puzzle out exim, with little insight gained. A well-aimed kick in the right direction would be most appreciated.
