learning to use/master fetchmail is on my list of things to do (somewhere after getting a useable X in debian)
but in the meantime i need to get my mail....
the windows model of mail client communicates with a POP and an SMTP server directly..
its that functionality that netscape-mail/ pronto/ evolution/ tradeclient/ mahogany/ aeromail/ anyone-i've-missed are aiming for. and the old truncate function is something they mostly don't have (i suspect because most of the developers are on good bandwidth)
i do appreciate that the fetchmail approach is more elegant.. but it is more daunting too.
