so how would one set this up? script for getting and sending email(offline then sync when going "online"), then use mutt or pine to read it and write emails? I really hate the existing email gui type programs.

I personally gave up trying to use pine because of the ergonomic issues (my thumb ain't big enough to hit the shift & control simultaneously, and pine doesn't recognize the shift key on the rt side of my keyboard).
But Bam, have you looked at the fetchmailrc file to see if there is a frequency or polling option you can set there?
Would trying leaving the console open all the time and letting fetchmail run as a background process work, assuming it has the polling interval set however you like it?
We also have an 'at' command instead of the 'cron' command, at least on ROM 2.38, which can be used to schedule jobs in advance, but I don't know how to get it to run from a script.
You mention looking for projects in your signature. Would a "How to Install & Configure Pine, Fetchmail, Procmail, and Msmtp for the Zaurus" suit your fancy?
As I recall, all the pieces create their own run control, *rc, files but a list of recommended configuration tweaks
for the Zaurus would be an asset for the community.
For someone with no experience with these, it's pretty hard to parse through all the documentation, and installation
shouldn't be the painful and complex time-consuming process that it has been for folks like me.
Cheers,
