Hi all/Emily, Success! I just discovered that I had accidentally deleted the symlink in /usr/sbin/sendmail which called postfix, so that was why the messages weren't being sent at all. Then I called a small script (copied from the postfix docs) which flushes the mail queue and .... In the mean time I had installed fetchmail and it revealed itself to be very easy to use: one command line fetchmail -p POP3 -u username POP.server.address retrieved my messages, and there it was: the test message I had just sent to myself!! It all works flawlessly; I am very gratefull for your help! Just one question, though: Right now, I must use all this commands to retrieve my messages and send any replies: fetchmail mutt .email (name of the script which flushes the queue) How do you "gurus" :-) do it? Regards, Manuel
