Yesterday, I emailed the support guys at our web host, which uses Red
Hat Enterprise as its server. This was concerning my problem of
retrieving onto my webmail inbox a total of 57 mails. Neither Horde
nor SquirrelMail succeeded. SquirrelMail was the lesser evil because
at least it said that there was an imap problem so it had to time out.

I was surprised by the response of the support guy. He suggested that
I use Microsoft Outlook to retrieve the mails, as one or two of these
disable the webmail apps to do so. Come again, I asked him in my mind.

Is this something that tries to say: "Hey, there are Linux problems
that Windows can solve!" Nuh, I don't buy that idea.

So what I did was simple. I fired up Kmail on my notebook and then
added an identity for my company's mails and did some minor settings.
Yes, I was able to retrieve all the mails.

At the end of the day, I said to myself: Linux problems are open
source problems.
