search.cpan.org In particular try the following modules: Mail::IMAPClient Mail::POP3Client Or if you had more experience with this kind of thing: Net::IMAP Net::POP3 Net::SMTP Net::SNMP These modules will use an object orientated approach, so read the documenation to see how they're used. You probably have to download and install these from CPAN. If using ActiveState's Perl, try: ppm install IMAPClient etc Jonathan Paton __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
