Hi, My isp provides a "Unix shell account", and because I pick my e-mail up from different platforms (Mac, PC, NeXT, Unix terms) and locations, it's been most practical for me to simpy telnet into my isp and run my (curses-based) e-mail program remotely via dialup networking from home.
Not one to leave well enough alone, I now want to setup my home Debian Linux box so that messages are transferred to my local mailspool and I can run a mail program locally. I've chosen sendmail to handle the daemon, exmh as a mail program, and I've run through the initial configuration for each. My question is: What is a good method to go about checking for and delivering messages? Is there some slick app (gui or otherwise) that automates this procedure, or should I hack my chatscript to run something (what are my options?) at connect time and schedule cron to connect every so often (or possibly just check every so often when I'm connected, I haven't decided how often I want to check yet), or is there an even better way to handle this ritual? My isp provides pop3, imap2, imap4, if that helps. I've read many related docs including howto's, books, works from the Debian Documentation Project, but have not made much progress. If there is a good document I should read, please tell. David Stern -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
