Thou shalt not have another e-mail client beside of sup -- because sup
does not change the e-mail sources, and if other mail clients change
sources, sup won't be able to find the emails any longer.

There are some workarounds for this, I installed sup on a PC I can
access via dyndns, run sup there and log in with ssh to read my mail
from different locations.
Disadvantage: I cannot view attachements where I need a framebuffer
device.

Well -I could reconfigure my mailcap to use X-programs to view
attachments and use ssh with X-forwarding, might work.

William Morgan is working on a server - client based solution that will
solve this problem, but I don't dare to try it yet - being not work in
progress, but yet in development.
