Hello,
I want to be able to access POP3 mail from a Windows 98 computer (which, btw,
I reinstalled on Sunday rather painlessly). Currently I've got "squid" set up
(over dial-up!) but it's only a HTTP cache/proxy ie no POP3 mail.
This means I won't be able to use Outlook Express 6 (IE6SP1). Before we
proceed further:
--------
1) You can on one of the menus activate an option to be able to directly edit
the message source (you get 3 tabs, editing, source, preview). Not only can
you paste your HTML code there so you CAN send plain text messages.
2) Wonderful integration with Hotmail but bizarre behaviour if you receive a
new message while you're copying them all to a local folder (it gets placed
in your local folder and you have to copy it into your Hotmail Inbox, which
changes the received time). I have Hotmail so it's useful.
3) Beats KMail in some aspects. Here's one: You can view HTML messages in
KMail if you choose "Prefer HTML over plain text", and it works mostly well
enough, but if the message was forwarded/attached to one, you can't view
HTML. Also the filter system in KMail isn't as flexible.
--------
OK, trolling finished, let's continue.
There's a program called "ucspi-proxy" which provides "pop3-relay-proxy" but
I want something simple and open like "squid" where I set a proxy port and
that's all I need on the client end.
Alternative 2: Stream my POP3 mail over SSL. That way it becomes HTTPS, which
will work. (Note I can't use a web interface to check mail because I can't
download it). However, I have no idea how to do this ...
So please help by either showing the way to stream POP3 over SSL, or proxying
POP3, or some other method that does not involve too much black magic.
Thankyou.
Regards,
