Hi, I currently upgrading to 2.2.2. Things are going very nicely. I have been upgrading apps to the latest ports. Previously I have used popclient 3.0b6 for downloading mail from a remote pop3 server via user ppp. This has worked well, but I have seen mention that fetchmail is a better alternative. There were some problems and security concerns with earlier versions of popclient, but these seemed to be sorted out. Development of popclient does seem to have stalled. What advantages are there in using fetchmail instead of popclient? Regards ...
