I receive email on my desktop from 3 pop3 servers (for example, pop.gmail.com). I usually read it from there on my laptop.
I'm running Fedora-5 with KDE, and use kmail for email. I tried running the Tools=>Anti-Spam Wizard in kmail but found this was fairly disastrous, as it runs spamc on each email it fetches, which meant I had to wait several minutes after starting kmai before I could read any mail. So I started running fetchmail as a cron job from each mail server. This seems to work fine. What puzzles me is that I never saw this suggested anywhere. Am I missing some obvious alternative? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
