Nope -- use http://your.domain/users/username/whatever.html

Fetchmail retains the reply information so that I can reply to the mail as
though I were using the other mail system. Imap leaves all of it on my Qube2
rather than located on the Qube2, an pop3 system, and another imap system.
That allows me to use a single mail reader and keeps all my mail in folders on
the Qube2. Outlook 2000 in IMO mode with Imap works very nicely to manage
everything. Hence, no matter which of my systems I use, I have access to all
the mail folders on the Qube2, including that fetched from other systems.

Got in with admin and user name. I do have all the security updates and system
patches installed and do not have pop before smtp installed. I have root and
registered users allowed to telnet on. When you have a rejection, do you have
any error messages in your message, secure, maillog, etc. logs? Not sure what
is the difference.

BTW, do you have a list of telnet pop commands or can you tell me where to
find them? For example, once I do user and pass, then how do I change users or
logout or etc?
