Thanks for the quick reply

It was indeed very easy to setup, but i'm getting an error:

Transmission failed: Could not lock /var/mail/myusername

of course i'm trying to read my own mail.
Permission problems?

ls -lah /var/mail/

drwxrwsr-x  2 root mail 4.0K 2008-11-23 21:31 .
drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 4.0K 2008-07-26 12:05 ..
-rw-rw----  1 myusername mail 2.2M 2008-11-23 21:31 myusername
