Just as a test I copied my (2.5MB) Netscape Inbox to C:\MAIL\inbox to try it out. Wow, fast or what :-). Also a good example of sensible GUI programming I thought. Why waste system resources drawing lots of pretty buttons when you can make the text point-and-click-able??. Now for the bad news :-(. It appears it only works with IMAP servers (I must confess that I haven't trawled the Website yet looking for FAQ's etc.) but both the servers I use are POP3. My work e-mail, which I use wherever possible, is fairly easy, I can dial into the LAN and rcp the mail file from the server. It's just a bit messy that I'd have to make sure my inbox was empty or concatente the new mail to the end of the inbox. How I could do this with my ISP e-mail is beyond me, I can't just rcp from that. I take it ``send'' uses SMTP, so as long as I've set up the hostname and domain of the SMTP server, and am dialled into the company LAN then it should send mail OK. Can you offer any help/suggestions/advice?
