you put in:
plug-gw: port pop3 192.168.0.2 -plug-to remote.host -port pop3
So that when you connect to your firewall machine, you are
automatically passed on over to remote.host. This does not allow for
multiple mailboxes on different servers, since my proxy connects me
to remote.host. If anyone knows differently please let me know..

My freebsd machine is not connected to the net all the time, so this
would not be feasable for me...

That was part of my original question..How should I retrieve the mail
from my remote mailboxes and store them on my FreeBSD machine such
that a Win95 client on a ethernet connected second machine can read
the stored mail? Pop Client or POP Server?
