Continue to fetch mailing-list mail with cron/ftp. 2. install a local imap server. 3. Whenever you want to read non-mailing-list mail from home with netscape, run fetchmail which will download that mail from your isp. 4. I think fetchmail must be helped by a MTA listening at port 25 or a MDA to deliver the mail to your spool file (or to ~/mail) 5. Your local imap server will then see the mail and can serve it to netscape. -- Note that I use Debian version 3.0 Linux emac140 2.4.17 #1 sön feb 10 20:21:22 CET 2002 i686 unknown Hans Ekbrand
