cheap and cheerful remote email?

acid_kewpie · 06-16-2001, 03:24 PM

Hi, can anyone tell me the easiest (security totally irrelevant) way to access mail in pine, where the mail is stored on a different computer? I thought i could be cheeky and ln the samba mounted machines mail file to the /var/spool/mail directory on my machine, but some program took offense to that, renaming it as bogus!! any help? thanks

Telnet/SSH to the remote machine and use pine(?)

well, that's the current system... but if i'm not ssh'd to the remote machine, i still stupidly load pine, and get an empty inbox. Bit of a waste of a thread maybe, just after some ways to make linux more user friendly.
