Email Server?


I have no idea how to start looking for answers to this so I thought I'd start here. At home I use any one of three computers and I want to get the same e-mail from any of them. So what I want to do is use my ftp/web server to get my attbi.com e-mail and then I download my e-mail on my other computers from the server. Anyone know how to do this and what program I need. By the way the server is a Red Hat 7.2 box and I will be using Evolution and Outlook 2000 to get my e-mail from my other computers. Any help please!

well, use fetchmail on the server to get all the mail, and then use imapd to get pop3 or imap access to the server.

What's it doing?


Someone will help if you ask a question that they can answer, but you have to get started on something first or you have no questions.

Yea sorry I was a little lost, but I figured out the problem. I forgot that red hat disables all that stuff by default. Then after changing all those files to enable I forgot to restart xinetd. I got it figured out. Thanks for the help.
