How do I send/read mail?

Sending mail: the Mail::Mailer module from CPAN (part of the MailTools package) is UNIX-centric, while Mail::Internet uses Net::SMTP which is not UNIX-centric. Reading mail: use the Mail::Folder module from CPAN (part of the MailFolder package) or the Mail::Internet module from CPAN (also part of the MailTools package).
