You probably already have rdate and/or ntp. And, if you don't already
have these, you can certainly get them for your distribution of Linux.

Well, I always get nervous when people give out a list of features, but
insist things must be easy, because I'm of the belief that easy and
feature rich are rather antithetical.

So, I won't comment about easy. I will tell you that most of us on this
list use either pine or mutt for email. You probably already have mutt,
or could easily get it for your distro. Mutt would be my recommendation,
but pine is a good choice, too.

Whether you use mutt or pine, you'll need to tweak the configuration in
order to make the mail program blind friendly.

PS: In mutt you can delete a thread of messages by pressing ctrl-d. Is
that what you would call easy?

PPS: To edit the mutt configuration, you edit a text file. Pine has a
built in configuration editor.
