Try using fetchmail in the ports /usr/ports/mail/fetchmail Can be configured to "fetch" pop2,pop3,imap,etc. Then you can use mh , pine, or any number of readers to access you mail on your freebsd machine. Or you can always just use Netscape communicator and use that mail reader included (Heaven forbid I said this option, never mind :) ) Chris On Thu, 9 Sep 1999, Mik Thwaite wrote: > I'm trying to send e-mail from my FreeBSD box.
