I am wondering how to set up fetchmail- for some reason the fetchmailconf program won't run even with Python installed. Does anyone have good ideas for doing mail in my current situation. I get all my school mail to the school unix machines, and with Windows, i used Eudora to use pop3 to get mail. I am looking for a GUI interfaced mail program that can use pop3, leaves the mail on the server, and delete mail from the server when it is few days old. I like being able to check mail by loggin onto the school unix server; I can't connect to my machine remotely because I am sharing an IP address. I have tried several programs, but so far K-mail works well except that it either downloads only the messages I haven't read or it downloads the same messages again and again and fills up my mailbox with tons of duplicate messages. Do people have suggestions? I am thinking that I would use fetchmail to use pop3 to get mail and then forward it to my local mail daemons so that it is forwarded to my local inbox. So far I haven't figured out either part. I appreciate any help!
