A setup is pretty standard: just poll popper1.isf.kiev.ua proto pop3 user (username) is (localname) here password (pass) fetchall that's all.

Oh yes, a computer is just a plain home machine (no local net, nothing special, just ppp account with only mailbox at my ISP's server). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Vledimir.
