I use pine for text (xmail also when i just want to simply read mail, such as logwatches and what-not), and for graphical, I use basically any webmail service. Squirrelmail is good though, must say its one of the best webmail apps out there. I'm not always @ home when I check my email though (at clients, etc), so I prefer webmail, as anything with a browser can pretty much check it.

pilot(1) General Commands Manual pilot(1)
Name
pilot - simple file system browser in the style of the Pine Composer
Syntax
pilot [ options ] [ directory ]
Description
Pilot is a simple, display-oriented file system browser based on the Pine message system composer. As with Pine, commands are displayed at
the bottom of the screen, and context-sensitive help is provided.
Pilot displays the current working directory at the top of the screen. The directory's contents are displayed in columns of file name,
file size pairs. Names that are directories are indicated by the name "(dir)" in place of the file size. The parent of the current work-
ing directory is indicated by the file name ".." and size of "(parent dir)". File names that are symbolic links to other files are dis-
played with a file size of "--".
Several basic file manipulation commands are provided: Delete, Rename, Copy, View, Launch, and Edit. The "View" and "Edit" commands oper-
ate on text files only. By default, the "View" command displays files using "pine -F", but will respect the environment variable PAGER if
set. The "Edit" command simply invokes "pico". The "Launch" command provides a convenient way to either execute the selected file or to
run an application on it.
More specific help is available in pilot's online help.
Options
-a Display all files including those beginning with a period (.).
-f Use function keys for commands. This option supported only in conjunction with UW Enhanced NCSA telnet.
-g Enable "Show Cursor" mode. Cause cursor to be positioned before the current selection rather than placed at the lower left of the
display.
-j Enable "Goto" command. This enables the command to permit explicitly telling pilot which directory to visit.
-m Enable mouse functionality. This only works when pilot is run from within an X Window System "xterm" window.
-nn The -nn option enables new mail notification. The n argument is optional, and specifies how often, in seconds, your mailbox is
checked for new mail. For example, -n60 causes pilot to check for new mail once every minute. The default interval is 180 seconds,
while the minimum allowed is 30. (Note: no space between "n" and the number)
-o dir Sets operating directory. Only files within the specified directory are accessible and browsing is limited to the specified direc-
tory subtree.
-v Enable single vertical column display.
-x Disable keymenu at the bottom of the screen.
-z Enable ^Z suspension of pilot.
-q Termcap or terminfo definition for input escape sequences are used in preference to sequences defined by default. This option is
only available if pilot was compiled with the TERMCAP_WINS define turned on.
