What Is MH Message Handling System?

TechDogs Avatar

You're busy and don't have time for all the bells and whistles other email clients have. You want something that works and doesn't cost you a dime. Well, look no further than the MH Message Handling System! You've probably never heard of the MH Message Handling System. It's a free, open-source email client initially developed at the RAND Corporation. It is unique in that it consists of more than one program and is designed to be operated from the command line. Why should you care about MH? If you're a technologist who has ever sent an email, chances are good that you've used MH without even realizing it. The reason is simple: when you send an email through Gmail or Yahoo Mail or any other service where your emails are stored on a server somewhere on the internet instead of on your computer, there's a fair chance those servers are running MH.(And if they aren't? They probably should be! ) Moreover, if you like to tinker with stuff, MH is worth learning because it gives you much control over how your messages are delivered and received. If your job requires sending and receiving lots of emails each day, but you don't want to check them constantly throughout the day (or even have them cluttering your phone), then MH might be what you need! The performance of MH relies on the operating system's file system. It also depends upon the configuration of your computer. It also depends on the weather. But if we're talking about what matters, it's about the file system. The latest file system technology has increased the performance of MH compared to the earlier file systems. Thus, the performance of MH can be improved by choosing suitable options and applying the appropriate settings.
