This is unix - use the right tool for the right thing.  Use fetchmail to
pop the mail down to your machine and get it into the normal unix format,
then use any tool that will operate on Unix mailboxes for mail.  I
personally recommend Pine, even though it isn't X based, it works fine in
a terminal window - plus you can get your mail remotely.

That way you don't have to use a seperate program for remote and local
access.  If you do use two different progs, make sure they both use the
same mailbox format, or you'll be going nuts.
