Hey Isaaq,
I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for. But I'm runing 4.02 with
a POP3 account. The only sexy editing I had to do was in (s)etup,
(c)onfig, 'inbox-path' is set to '{mail.myisp.net}inbox'
For a different accout, whose mail i retrieve with 3.96, the 'inbox-path'
is set to '{pop3xx.myschool.edu}/var/spool/mail'
Both designations I got from the sysadmin. Hope that helps.
