I would like a recommendation for an e-mail client. I am not at liberty to discuss what’s going on in great detail here, but basically I’ve been using elm for a particular e-mail account because of certain features it has I haven’t been able to find in another suitable client. The server this account and client run on is going away in about two months. Moving the account to a new server is not an option for the tech folks. Although pine or mutt would probably work fine, it’s not something the tech folks would probably let me use.

Here are the features of a client I really, really want to have:

1) The ability to save e-mails to a folder and run a script or do something with them as a group so that I can send a number of stock responses at once with very little time or effort on my part

2) Mass deletion so I can knock out a bunch of junk e-mails in one swoop

3) The ability to have multiple people log in and take care of the account, respond to e-mails, etc.

4) The ability to store, edit, and maintain 50-70 stock responses that go along with this e-mail account

Ideas? Comment below or drop me a line.

Thanks. Much appreciated.

Addendum 8/19: This evening, I realized it might be possible to run pine or mutt or even elm like we’re doing the current setup via a Mac’s Terminal. I’m interested in other suggestions still, though.
