A lot of people (such as me) prefer to use fetchmail to get our mail from POP3 servers (or other types of servers that fetchmail supports). To read mail, I personally use mutt. It's highly configurable, and deals nicely with mailing lists and such. Both fetchmail and mutt are in ports. -- Munish Chopra The FreeBSD NVIDIA Driver Initiative http://nvidia.netexplorer.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
