Numerous tools work together to set you up with email. However, an
excellent all-in-one graphical tool is Evolution,
which provides similar functionality and the same look-and-feel of
Microsoft Outlook. Evolution
is likely to satisfy
the needs of the regular Debian GNU/Linux user, and also provides
access to Microsoft Exchange servers.
To delve into the more sophisticated, and sometimes quite more
flexible, tools, Debian has many options.
Fetchmail
can retrieve email from multiple
POP/IMAP servers and deliver it to your (possibly local) MTA.
Exim, postfix, qmail, and
sendmail
are MTAs--they will dispatch email to users.
Procmail
can then sort incoming email into
different mailboxes for an individual user.
Spamassassin
and clamav
can be
called on to filter out spam and viruses. You can store your email in
the Maildir format, setting up a local IMAP server using
courier-imap
to serve the email to mail readers like
mutt, evolution, and even the web-based email
tool squirrelmail. For IMAP access to your mbox mail file
use dovecot-imapd.
