Of course not...
Why that?
I think you have your concepts quite mixed up. You do not need to open the pop3 port in the firewall (nor _any_ other port) unless you are setting up a mail server for other people, so that they connect to you to receive their email. In order to get mail, you need to setup a program that gets the email from your ISP (that is, mail.gr). If you are using Pine (like I do) then you can configure it to receive mail from IMAP servers; if your account is a POP3 mail account, then you need to setup fetchmail as well. Yast can do that for you (SuSE 8.2), or you can do that manually --> meaning, read the manual(s). Or, you can use one of the integrated solutions; for example, mozilla, kmail, evolution... they will be easier to setup for you. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
