Go ahead and configure the basic system how you like it (shell, editor, etc.), and add the appropriate users. Install the qpop package from the packages distribution, and uncomment the pop3 line at the bottom of /etc/inetd.conf to enable it. If you want to automatically suck mail from other servers, also install the popclient package. I have set mine up with a shell script to run regularly under cron. Eudora works fine accessing mail from the POP server. I hope this helps! Ken
