POP is obsolete. Instead you want to use IMAP to read emails from your ISP and SMTP to send emails to your ISP. Even better is to use IMAPS and SMTPS. Check with your ISP what they offer... Then install mutt(1) from packages (install mutt-sasl if your ISP provides IMAPS and SMTPS). Then create a $HOME/.muttrc file that contains something like this (assuming your ISP provides IMAPS and SMTPS): set smtp_url = smtps://your-login-n...@smtps-server.your.isp set from = your-login-n...@your.isp set folder = imaps://your-login-n...@imaps-server.your.isp/ Mutt will ask you for your password when it connects to your ISP to send or receive email. There is a lot of information on the Internet about how to use mutt with IMAP/IMAPS and SMTP/SMTPS... Philippe
