eXtremail setup.


I've set up eXtremail on my Mandy 8.1 box, with a view to getting rid of my mail server on a Win 2k machine. I'm accessing th'Internet via a Smoothwall box. I can log on from a mail client on a Windoze machine to eXtremail on the Mandrake machine. I can send out from NT to my Yahoo account a test mail, the Yahoo account receives it no problem.

All's well so far!

However, it was only after scratching my head for a while wondering why I wasn't getting mail back, I realised that I hadn't entered any info on eXtremail as to where to pick up mail *from*!

I can't suss that out though. I've read and re-read the manual, but can't work it out...

I should be able to enter the following info on eXtremail somehow:

POP3 mailbox: pop.myaccount.com
username: myname
password: mypassword

And then of course, eXtremail should have the mail for my clients on my little network. (As I mentioned, my clients can definitely log on to the mailboxes I've set up on eXtremail. It's just that I can't work out how to make eXtremail go to the Internet and get my e-mails...)

Anyone used eXtremail and know how to enter the above parameters so it will go on to the Internet and pick up the mail from pop.myaccount.com?

Cheers,

Rob
