mutt update to 1.5.2.x - smtp and pop3 support - a full functional mail-suite

[netnomad]

hello my friends,

the actual mutt.tcz has   no smtp   included.

a tiny, standard, fully functional mail-suite on the commandline would be just perfect.
the 1.5.2.x-version got smtp included!!!
mutt got everything, especially pop, imap, smtp, pgp, attachments and so on.

it would be great to use these functions in tc with version > 1.5.2.

thank you for your work.

Latest stable release is 1.4.2.3 which is in the TC repo. As a generic rule no development versions accepted fot TC repository.

What is about alpine?

thank you, that you gave me the hint to alpine, i give it a try.
actually i prefer standard tools like mutt that i can find and use on differrent platforms and distributions.
at what release-steps do you upgrade the extensions?! i did not find any informations or rules in the forum or on the homepage...
do you upgrade, when you move from 3.5 to 3.6, or do you upgrade to 4.x?
thanks

Pine is as standard and widely used as mutt in the Linux world or possibly more standard if this statement has any sense.

Relese steps? In general deal only with stable versions, except very rare cases. Supporting upstream is not a package maintainer's task. Than depends on extension. Maybe new version has new dependencies which breaks the system or introduce features noone need, maybe no any sense to follow upstream, like ImagaMagick where they are releasing a new 'stable' in every second day, etc.
