Sorry forgot the :), really.
the problem is I am using qpopper and I cannot figure out how to get it to
put mail in ~user/Mailbox. Anybody using qpopper? Do you recommend another

Security note: pop3d should be used only within a secure network;
otherwise an eavesdropper can steal passwords.
scares me. Exactly what is meant by 'secure network'?

Phorum project (www.phorum.org), for which this is getting set up for.
