Hi,

for an older person, who does not want to fiddle with all the bells  
and whistles of email clients I am looking for a very simple and easy  
to use email receive-and-send solution.

I thought of putting DSL (DSL=DamnSmallLinux) onto a USB-Stick which  
gets booted and automatically downloads new email and sends emails,  
which are in the queue already.  
Configurinig the Linux OS accordingly should not be the problem.

But the client…

Normally email clients tends to be “feature rich”, which ok. For this  
certain projekt I need the opposite.

I am looking for an email client with a graphical interface which has  
as less features as possible. Ideal would be a client, which has  
buttons to send email to certain people and button to download new  
emails and an editor window or an email client which could be  
stripped down to that including hardcoding the email addresses into  
it.

I searche RAA for a solution but the keyword “mail” gives me far too  
much hits. More specific keywords matches nothing or the wrong  
things, since the circumstances are too specific and seldom wanted.

Does anyone know about an email client in ruby, which I can use for  
this ?

Thank you very much in advance for your help ! 🙂

Ruby!
