After I set up the configuration, (pointing at ns1.thought.org), when I tried to "get" mail, I was asked to input a password. I typed in my password for kline on ns1 and sylpheed quit immediately. evolution works with sendmail, so it worked far more easily. There is nothing to set up. The thing with evolution is that when I see an http://URL and mouseclick on it, nothing happens. I would expect that mozilla or firefox would popup at the URL, but no such luck. (I didn't see anyplace that associates evolution with a browser.) Are there any GUI mailers that use sendmail and that open an underlined URL with ? On my daughter's RH-8 system stuff works out-of-the-box. Somehow. But I'm getting ready to replace the RH swith something called Ubuntuu. Sorry if these seem gto be lame questions, but I'm a cmdline Luddite. I just need to have a good GUI mailer handy. tia, guys, gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public service Unix
