Dear All,
Is there a tool of mail program is similar with pine for FC6 ?
Yes, pine.
Yes, pine has one of the most bizarre user interfaces known to man and
you aren't going to find anything similar in that respect. Mutt is a
little more sensible, but does anyone still use a character based mailer
regularly these days? Even if you have a limited bandwidth connection,
imap to a local GUI mailer is a lot nicer.
That depends how you receive your mail. Since a linux machine contains
its own smtp server there should no meed for the mailer to do imap.
Not everyone has a public IP address with suitable DNS handling for
every machine where they might want to read their email.

can't.
What do you mean by 'properly'? This works for me:
http://www.novell.com/documentation/evolution24/index.html?page=/documentation/evolution24/evolution24/data/usage-mail-getnsend-read.html,
although I've been using thunderbird more lately, which also does
threads but is a little slower to switch back and forth between
threaded/unthreaded views and I usually view sorted by timestamp and
switch to threaded only when I've forgotten the earlier part of the
conversation.
