HI list,

After many painful attempts at getting Mandrake 8.1 to install on my old AMD system at 
home, the strangest thing i've ever seen has happened. No matter what i do, and mean 
that literally, cause i think i've tried everything i can think of, i can not log into 
the mailserver and get my mail. that would be the mail server "on" the machine itself 
and not the one at my ISP. I've been doing mail like this ever since i started using 
Linux. i just like it that way.

anyhow, this one has really got me stumped. And to make matter worse it lost my CD-RW 
drive and i can't remember just how to go about setting that back up so i can use it. 
otherwise i would just reinstall the imap package to get the mail going again.

the consistant error i'm getting back when i attempt to get my mail from the system 
mailserver is an authentication error. and yes, i checked to make sure it was running. 
as far as i could tell it was. things like this are quite a bit different then they 
were/are in Mandrake 7.2 so it's going to take a bit of time for me to get used to 
where they've put everything.

as always, any and all suggestions and or flames are graciously accepted.

thanks,

Mark
