Do you have X running?  Are you setting up a server or are just an
end-user?  The simplest thing to do as an end user is get Netscape's
Communicator/Navigator.  This'll save you the trouble of setting up
smail/fetchmail/mutt/qpopper/slrn/trn ad. naueseum.

Oh, it's not all that hard. And you almost surely need neither qpopper
or trn. Setting up the others is described step-by-step at the URL in
my sig.

Newbie's question: how to sendreceive mail

[htyj]

I use PPP connection to access Internet. I don't know what I have to do to send 
mail using my SMTP server and receive mail using my POP3 server. Please help 
me, thanks.

Hello:

Install smail and qpopper. Answer the questions during install.
NOTE - your name server must be setup properly before you
can use SMTP and you should have a fully qualified domain name.

I belive the original poster wanted to fetch mail from the ISP's pop3
server. This is a job for fetchmail.
