Setting up the Mail Client
A mail client, Mail User Agent (MUA), or e-mail reader is a user interface to manage email. The
term “email client” is also used to refer an agent acting as a client for an email server, a relaying
server, or a user. Additionally, a web application providing the required mail client functionality
is also considered an email client.
You can configure the following mail clients to access the mail service on an HP-UX system:
• University of Washington Pine®
• Microsoft® Office Outlook®
• Mozilla® Thunderbird®
This section addresses the following topics:
• “The Pine Mail Client” (page 15)
• “The Microsoft Outlook Mail Client” (page 18)
• “The Thunderbird Mail Client” (page 21)
