You run an imap server on one computer. You then use fetchmail to get mail from the ISP, to that computer. The users then run any mail client that supports IMAP. Fetchmail is used only to get the mail from the ISP to the IMAP server. Chris Aitken wrote:

Fetchmail can be used to collect the mail from a POP server.
So, the pop server would be pop3.onlink.net as per usual?
But the mail clients would be Fetchmail?

OK - thanks. That's the explanation I was hoping for. For me this will be a huge task. Downloading rpm's, installing software, configuring MUA, MTA, and now, if I understand correctly, MDA. And I'm sure I will face many questions to which I will not know the answer. So, this explanation will be my guiding light. : ) /home/chris -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
