 //mutt// is available even to **Pre-validated Users**. Just type ''%%mutt%%'' at the command prompt. Here's [[How to Use mutt]]
-Other programs, including //pine, alpine, mailx and rmail// are available to any **Validated User or ARPA or MetaARPA**. //Pine and Alpine// are related programs (Pine is older, Alpine is newer) that are both frequently considered to be the easiest shell email programs to use, with on-screen help and a menu interface. Enter ''%%pine%%'' or ''%%alpine%%'' respectively to run either of these.

 For users at the **User** level, to learn about your limited allowed space and the significance of the mail spool, see the difference between using mutt and alpine here: [[mutt and alpine and the spool]]. **This also may be useful if you use both a shell mail client and webmail interchangeably**.

 After you've set up your email client to receive mail (see above), the next thing you need to do is figure out the outgoing mail server that your computer or device's ISP provides.
-For example, if you are with Comcast on your computer at home, you can set up POP3 or IMAP in your favorite mail client as described above to read your SDF mail, and use your Comcast mail SMTP server (outgoing mail server) to send mail "from" your SDF account. On your phone, you can do the same, except you would use Verizon/Sprint/T-mobile's SMTP server (you may have to look up how if you don't know it) for sending messages "from" your SDF account.

 Next, you can follow the directions in [[setting up mail clients]], but you'll have to replace the values for the settings with those of your ISP's outgoing SMTP server.
