This comes straight out of my inetd.conf file on Slackware 7.1 I presumed Patrick Volkerding knew what he was talking about. Maybe he blurred the lines a little- I just did not question it.
As I said, there is a miscommunication here. From the Pine FAQ: "Pine is a "mail user agent" (MUA), which is a program that allows you to compose and read messages using Internet mail standards." Nothing more or less.
I quote:
" #pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd gnu-pop3d # The ipop3d POP3 server is part of the pine distribution.

ipop3d is part of UW's IMAP, not of PINE. It looks like it is bundled in one package with Slackware.
I did this on my SuSE 6.4 box. I dont run fetchmail or imap ( I dont personally need them). I can now get mail from my mail server from any other machine on my network. Yes, you can delete one message and leave the rest.
You're essentially using IMAP if you're using ipop3d. Greg -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
