I am using exim for sending and fetchmail receiving mail. So its easy to compose mail on my machine and exim delivers it. At the same time (to save money) fetchmail is started, when the link to my ISP is up. To see if you can access your telnet-account-machine try telnet <IP-adress> 25. That lets your telnet connect to port 25, which is the mail port. If this works, you can setup your programs, connect to your ISP, uni, whatever and let the programms get the mail.

I want to download the mail automaticlly each time on conection, How do i do this? For the telnet/ftp account I don't know if I can connect via pop or imap. I tried pop to names that could be servers, but i got a responce for both that the pass word is wrong (for the people of ilug, offtopic, but if anyone works with libra or associates, and knows how to connect remotely to the mail servers, the help desk couldn't tell me if its possible). Also, how can I compose mail locally and automaticly send it through the server on connect? Also, can anyone recomand any good documentation or books on the subject?
