Could someone point me in the Try http://www.eudora.com/qpopper for qpopper documentation. I can't recall if I installed qpopper or a different pop server, but it's very easy to do. You can simply install the port, uncomment the line in inetd.conf (modifying the path to your pop binary), and kill -HUP the inetd process. IMAP is slightly more difficult to install and administer, but both major IMAP servers (imap-uw and cyrus) come with pop servers as well. -- Christopher Farley www.northernbrewer.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
