You still need an SMTP server, though.

POP3 makes more sense if you want to get all of your mail and store it locally. IMAP makes more sense if you want to sort it into mailboxes stored on the server. For most people setting up their own server, IMAP probably makes more sense. -- gabriel rosenkoetter gr@eclipsed.net Attachment:
