painfully slow to download (it's not unusual for me to receive everal
hundred emails per day). By checking email on the server using a command
line tool, I can do the filtering upon receipt (not when downloading) and
blast through two emails in the time it would take a GUI to display one.
Right now, I'm using an iPad (and a Bluetooth keyboard) with an SSH client
to check my email. I get to use an email client I'm familiar with for
reading, along with my preferred editor to write this email.
Wait, what? The email GUI on an iPad is too slow? What's wrong with
that device? Or is there a problem with your server?
