Hi Debian Users!
First of all is this the correct place to ask for help with Debian?
I am trying to setup email on a workstation via modem to an ISP
I have not seen anything about something so simple as basic email setup
on reading thru debian-user-digest-request@lists.debian.org
Have I picked the correct packages to get email working?
I think I need the following
MUA (Mail User Agent)
balsa - GNOME mail access
mutt - Command Line mail access
MDA (Mail Delivery Agent)
ipopd - POP3 from mail-server to workstation
MTA (Mail Transfer Agent)
postfix - SMTP local mail transfer on workstation
the ISP uses a POP3 mail-server: mail.tpg.com.au
where the ISP email address: debian3@tpg.com.au
my workstation email address: debian@gin.mixer.net
I can not send or receive email onto my workstation!
What configuration files do I have to look at to complete the setup?
Debian Newbie
Thanks for ANY assistance!
ps ISP offers a email web browser service via www.postoffice.tpg.com.au
