Just a minor correction Bob, as I've travelled over this same road that Stan is considering; the "fetch mail from a pop site" that 1.3 now has is called fetchmail. I've played with two of these fetch mail from pop programs. Sunsite has "fetchpop 1.9" on it in the /pub/Linux/system/pop subdirectory (along with several similar types of programs). The configuration of fetchpop is truly a no-brainer, it autocreates a file in your home directory and stores the pop site name, along with your username and password. The drawback of fetchpop is that I found that it isn't as "robust" of a program as fetchmail is. The fetchmail program that comes with Debian 1.3 is more flexible, and thus a tiny bit more complicated to set up. Both programs can be run as daemons which when combined with diald can fully automate grabbing your mail off from the internet. I've found fetchmail handles some things that fetchpop couldn't and once the configuring is done you'll probably appreciate the flexibility. | Debian GNU/ __ o Regards, | / / _ _ _ _ _ __ __ . | / /__ / / / \// //_// \ \/ / Randy | /____/ /_/ /_/\/ /___/ /_/\_\ ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) | ...because lockups are for convicts... -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
