[quoted lines by John J. Boyer on December 6, 2001, at 15:12] >I've been studying the replies that I've gotten so far. One problem that >doesn't seem to be addressed is that my Web hosting provider gives me an >account name, chpi02, a user name, director and a password. I think i have >to supply all three of these to their server to get my incoming mail. All of >them are required in Outlook Express, and what Windows can do Linux should >be able to do at least as well. I've never seen a setup like this before, but, after looking at the fetchmail man page, my guess is that you may be able to get your mail via fetchmail as follows: fetchmail -u director@chpi02 server-host-name -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | I believe that the Bible is the Phone: 1-613-726-0014 | Ottawa, Ontario | Word of God. Please contact me EMail: dave@mielke.cc | Canada K2A 1H7 | if you're concerned about Hell.
