Your ISP has to have POP capabilities, then you need a pop client. This is as far as I got, because the pop client comes with very poor documentation, and the ISP's docs are to access the POP server in a regular way, not using POP to nab the mail a read it locally, but to merely access the mail and read it remotely. It's quite frustrating, I have gotten such a minute amount of support that I've put my POP aspirations on ice for the moment. Let me know if you figure it out! I have managed to get my local copy of pine to send outgoing messages to a queue, which then go to the ISP when I hook up, but even that works only sporadically, and like POP, sendmail is also poorly documented (Unless you buy a book, which is certain to be over 2 inches thick.)
