Well, that has got nothing to do with exim. Exim is a MTA, it *delievers* mail and doesn't fetch it. To fetch mail use fetchmail ;) Configuring fetchmail is pretty easy. Install it by apt-get (if it not installed already) and create a file called ~/.fetchmailrc poll your.mail.server proto POP3 user your.user password XXX > what configuration would be best when setting up exim? If you also want to deliever mail, then you should specify a so called "smarthost" in your exim.conf - which is your ISP's SMTP-Server. Phil
