Text-based mail program which handles webmail.

[Ben Washington-Yule]

I have a Yahoomail account and receive messages with Mozilla Mail but I 
would like to at least try a non-GUI mail program. I have heard of mutt 
and pine but I am not sure if I can download my webmail (Yahoo) messages 
with them. I am sure that the information is available on the internet 
but my research thus far has been for the most part too technical for my 
understanding but I have deduced that my problem has something to do 
with pop, whatever that may be.
