Hello all, I'm completely green behind the ears when it comes to email setup. Trying to get an exmh mail sytem established on my machine.
I've installed the following debian GNU/Linux packages on an i586 machine: exim, eximon, fetchmail, metamail, mime-support, mh, and exmh. Only connected to internet via PPP to an ISP who uses POP3 for mail. Currently using Netscape Communicator for mail which works fine, however, I'd like to switch to exmh. Have been able to get everything setup including mh using the info in the great!! online mh book which I downloaded. It's in HTML format and covers mh, mh-e, xmh and exmh. It's covered by the GNU license and should definitely be added to the Debian distribution. See http://www.ics.uci.edu/~mh/book/browhelp.htm Am using fetchmail to move mail from my ISP's POP3 server to my machine. Cannot move POP3 mail, using fetchmail, from the ISP server to my client machine. Here's the error message when executing the fetchmail command in an xterm either as a user or root: vtorrico$ fetchmail -v -u vtorrico -a -p pop3 milo.cfw.com Enter password for [EMAIL PROTECTED]: fetchmail: 3.9.6 querying milo.cfw.com (protocol POP3) at Sun Jul 27 06:51:48 1997 fetchmail: POP3< +OK QUALCOMM Pop server derived from UCB (version 2.1.4-R3) at milo.cfw.com starting. fetchmail: POP3> USER vtorrico fetchmail: POP3< +OK Password required for vtorrico. fetchmail: POP3> PASS * fetchmail: POP3< +OK vtorrico has 14 message(s) (29276 octets). fetchmail: selecting default folder fetchmail: POP3> STAT fetchmail: POP3< +OK 14 29276 fetchmail: 14 messages at [EMAIL PROTECTED] fetchmail: POP3> RETR 1 fetchmail: POP3< +OK 2857 octets reading message 1 (2857 bytes) fetchmail: SMTP connect to localhost failed: Unknown error 18446744073709551615 fetchmail: POP3> QUIT fetchmail: POP3< -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- fetchmail: SMTP transaction error while fetching from milo.cfw.com: Unknown error 18446744073709551615 fetchmail: normal termination, status 9 vtorrico$ Please, if this can be solved, I should be up and running in exmh.
