There is a port of pine 3.91 in ports-2.0/mail on the FreeBSD archive. I built it last week, and it was flawless. The pine documentation will describe how to enable IMAP as an internet service. It involves a straightforward editing of a couple of files in /etc. Not much more than installing POP3. IMAP is (IMHO) a vastly better protocol than POP, since it allows true remote mailbox manipulation. --Chris Chris Saldanha, Software Analyst -------------------------------------- computerActive, Inc |"The telephone was not invented by | chris@computerActive.on.ca (NeXTMail) | Alexander Graham Unitel" -Bell Ad | http://www.mae.carleton.ca/~csaldanh --------------------------------------
