If so you need to configure Sendmail properly (shouldn't be hard, mine worked right out of the box). If not, and you want to use Pine, you have to configure Pine to use IMAP4 to retrieve your mail. This isn't too hard. First, enable incoming folders in the configuration editor. Then get to the screen that lists folders, and choose A)dd. Follow the prompts. If Pine is unable to connect, your ISP might not be running IMAPd, in which case bug them and they probably will install it. Ben
