Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG ok, this is a newbie-like, flame-worth question, but I didn't quite figure out how to configure a simple text based MAU to work with pop3 mail, you know, the kind of mail account you have at your ISP or GMX (www.gmx.net) and the like. what do I need to do? do I have to configure and use popper or popclient, or do I have to set up sendmail in order to accomplish such a task? and if so, how do I do this? I don't want to use netscape messenger all the time, because I don't like the way it works, and it's kinda buggy too (sometimes the whole netscape-communicator exits suddelny on signal 10 according to the log when I type in the password to check for new mail). I looked in The Complete FreeBSD, but it did not enlighten me. any bit of information is welcome, or a pointer to information thanks and regards Andreas Ntaflos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
