Re: [cobalt-users] Checking Mail

Hi Gerald,

> 1)use pine of mutt or elm and don't delete his mail

Last time I checked, only mutt leaves mail in place. pine and elm set up mail directories in joe's homedir. joe needs to have shell access aswell, btw. This approach of course doesn't catch TCP/IP troubles.

> 2)set your mail client to NOT delete mail from server 

Some mailclients (saw this in old Eudora, don't know about recent mail clients) actually show that the mail in question has been read already.

> 3)copy his mail to a backup file, then copy it back

This is step 0. ;-)

Good luck... Nico
