In the process of transitioning all my stuff from windows to FBSD, I only have remaining how to access my email, which now sits out on a POP3 server from my ISP. I have Greg's book and have read the little bit he wrote about accessing pop mail, but I am still at a loss as what to do. He says to get popper from ports. I can't find it in ports. What cd is it on. He also says get popclient. I can't find this one either. I also checked the ftp.freebsd.org site, and was not able to find them there either. I did find qpopper. Is that popper? Are they the same? So, what is the best way to get my email to my desktop, which has to dial up via a modem? Also, once I get the mail, how do I configure (sendmail?, mutt?) to send mail to the outside world? Thanks ================== Jim D.
