Or fetchpop, which I don't believe is packaged in .deb form (yet?) but is quite nice anyhow. Fairly simple POP client (don't think it can do multiple POP boxes), but it runs as a daemon, and can use procmail directly for mail delivery. I start it up from my .xsession... fftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/linux/system/mail/pop/fetchpop-1.9.tar.gz if memory serves. :) - Mark Powers --------- "living inside the system is like riding through the countryside in a bus driven by a maniac bent on suicide." - Thomas Pynchon -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
