Installed Fetchmail and how do I collect mail from my XP box?
I have a Debian server 'Sarge' with Apache 1.3.33, PHP 4.3, MySQL 4 and Postfix working.
I've installed Fetchmail for the purpose of collecting POP3 mails from my ISP and how do I collect the mails from the Debian server to my XP box using email client like outlook? This is what I've done: 1. Create a .fetchmailrc file in ~/ directory 2. Edit the .fetchmailrc by adding this: Code:
poll pop.ntlworld.com with proto POP3 I've already created a user account called 'john'. 3. Tested it by doing this: # fetchmail -v I can see that it is working since it is accessing my ISP server and downloading any messages. What is the next thing I need to configure in order to access my POP3 mails from my XP box? |
I would think you just setup your XP machine to fetch from you nix box as if it were a POP source.

I did that before I post in here, which doesn't work.
In outlook, I did this: XP Box- Email: john.doe@ntlworld.com Account: john.doe Password: NTLWorld's password pop: 192.168.0.3 <--- Fetchmail smtp: 192.168.0.3 <--- Postfix Debian server- Debian server 's IP: 192.168.0.3 I created the user account 'john' by using adduser command Am I suppose to use the account 'john' and the password or NTL's in the outlook setup? |
Any suggestions?
