Ah, you need a _POP3_ client. Ok, there's popclient in the ports. It simply pulls the mail from the popserver, and drops it into the local mailbox, where you can use any mail reader you prefer. I've been told that mutt can also do POP3 directly. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
