Re: [orca-list] thunderbird getting bad to worst, is evolution a good choice?

Hi Jason,
So are the commands for mutt and alpine the same?
Can I get the list of keyboard shortcuts for mutt somewhere?
Secondly I found out that when using alpine, my inbox takes a lot of
time to open.
Is it due to imap being used instead of pop?
Can some one give me details to put in my pinerc file for pop access in gmail?
happy hacking.
Krishnakant.
