Sometime on Aug 24, Sagar Sule assembled some asciibets to say:
to download mails from linux machine to win machine via netscape. do i need a pop3 deamon running? i had one and everything was fine but
Yes, you need a pop3 daemon running. You could also use imap.
the damn deamon crashed everything it could get its hands on. i read somewhere that i do not need pop3 for this but the language in the howto seems latin to me!!! the howto is at
http://www.europe.redhat.com/documentation/mini-HOWTO/Offline-Mailing-1.php3
It doesn't say anything about people reading mail remotely. Locally, you don't need a daemon, but if you want to read from another machine, you do.
