Re: [PLUG] mail questions

GW supports POP3/imap, right? So just about any Linux mail program should work that understands pop3/imap. You won't get the scheduling and other features, but it sounds like you don't care about those.


Sort of. When using pop3, if you delete a message, it dosn't delete it out of your pop3 mail box. So you periodically have to go in through groupwise and delete your mail. The imap functionality isn't much much better. Mozilla mail client is the only mail client that recognizes their format. (tried KMAIL,StarOffice 5.2 and Evolution ( a new gnome mail client). It also dosn't support any of my biff mail checkers, all report errors when trying to see if i have new mail

Right now I use (mozilla M18 relase mail client) to connect to my pop3 post office on groupwise to retrieve the mail.

So use a different mail client - like kmail or mutt.

Am I mis-understanding something here?

I actually like the mozilla mail client. I was just trying to give people a run down of what I use


I'm around the corner from you - 4th & Walnut.

Small world, eh?

It is indeed!
