What is the best Zaurus E-mail program?

I've had the zaurus for 4 days now, and am very impressed, it's just a bit disappointing that there aren't many full featured mail apps. I'll give pine or mutt a go next week and see how they go. Any pointers to a howto to configure pine/mutt - especially for offline use?

Haven't had time to study this thoroughly, but bam put up info on his site on setting up pine and it should be helpful:

One cool thing is that procmail, fetchmail, and msmtp can be used with either pine or mutt, so if you don't like one, you'll have a lot of the work done for setting up the other.

If you need to do multiple outgoing addresses, it can be done with msmtp but I haven't got the details worked out well enough to post an example.

One thing to be careful of is you can't just say  'auth on' in .msmtprc as some servers are picky and you have to specify exactly which kind of authorization you're using.   That should automatically configure appropriately when you say  'auth on', but it doesn't always do so.

Please note that we have a mutt package for download on http://www.hermocom.com/en/download

It is supposed to work on Cacko ROM (Sharp ROM) but may also work under different ROMs.
