debian email setup

Well you can use gnome. Ubuntu is a distrobution of linux...
I find alpine very accessible and if I was you I would go with alpine.
Its command line.

First set up fetchmail.
Google perhaps for
"setting up fetchmail"
and copy a sample .fetchmailrc file.
Replacing the information like username, password and email address as 
well as servers with the correct information.
Also best to make it run as a daemon.

Then set up the sending part in alpine...
Probably best to do all your email work in a user account with the same 
user name for your email address.
Let me know if you want more info.
