I believe it's had security problems now and then, but it can't be worse than telnet'ing... and it's better than nothing if you don't find a suitable provider for proper shell access. I'm not sure whether elm supports it; I know mutt has good support for it. I think most ISP's would support it too. Your mail stays on the server, while your mail client runs on your local machine and accesses the remote mailbox. You can read, delete, do whatever you like to the remote mail which you would normally do to your local mail. So you can access the same mailbox from either home or office. However, your mail aliases, and your mail client configuration files, usually sit on the local machine; so you'll need to sync those whenever you make changes. -Rahul. -- /* efdtt.c Author: Charles M.
