[SLE] Can Netscape use local mailbox
I retrieve mail for all accounts on my system to local mailboxes with fetchmail. I use mutt as a mail client myself but have had my wife and kids using kmail, which I'm no longer happy with. I want to set them up to use Netscape Messenger as their mail client. I have had a look at the options which seem to include only POP3 and IMAP. Is it possible to have Messenger retrieve mail from local mailboxes without using POP3? If so where could I find more info on setting it up? -- Steve Crane http://craniac.daveworld.org -- 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
