There are a heap of remote mailservers I collect mail from using pine that I know definitely don't have IMAP .... the first is the local Apana Brisbane mailserver (FreeBSD 4.2) that I'm partly responsible for maintaining, then there are a number of permanently connected member gateways, most of which don't have IMAP & a couple areW2K / MDeamon systems that don't have IMAP either. Its necessary to do a wee bit of tweaking to pinerc to get this to work, but I think thats explained in a HOWTO at the pine homepage ...... its certainly not something I'd have figured out :) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ted Mittelstaedt" <tedm@toybox.placo.com> To: "Doug Young" <dougy@gargoyle.apana.org.au>; <freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG>; "Damien Champagne" <damienchampagne@yahoo.com> Sent: Tuesday, May 15, 2001 12:27 PM Subject: RE: POP email client for darwin > I think that PINE is only an IMAP client, but in any case you > would probably be better off using pine and IMAP instead of > a POP3 client, assuming your mail provider supports it. > > Ted Mittelstaedt tedm@toybox.placo.com > Author of: The FreeBSD Corporate Networker's Guide > Book website: http://www.freebsd-corp-net-guide.com > > > >-----Original Message----- > >From: owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG > >[mailto:owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Doug Young > >Sent: Monday, May 14, 2001 2:49 AM > >To: freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG; Damien Champagne > >Subject: Re: POP email client for darwin > > > > > >I've been using pine to collect mail from remote POP servers for a > >couple > >years at least .... theres a bit minor bit of fiddling with pinerc > >involved but > >thats all (I think the info you need is in the pine FAQ, but if you > >can't locate it > >let me know and I'll send one of my pinerc files) > > > >> > >> Is there an email client for freeBSD that allows for POP access? > >I've > >> been introduced to freeBSD via OSX.
