It's not the solution you're looking for, but I would establish a separate POP account for each user. Some ISPs will set up more than one POP account per customer, or you can do this through any of the free POP services on the net. I'm using softhome.net for just this purpose and recommend it.
Once each user has his own separate POP account, you should be able to set each user's instance of Kmail to chech his and only his POP account. -- Warren Post Santa Rosa de Copan, Honduras http://www.srcopan.vze.com/ On Tue, 23 Apr 2002 20:36:19 +0530 "L.V.Gandhi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Requirement: > I have one PC with mdk 8.2 linux with 3 users A,B and C. > All should have access to the mail retrieved from ISP's pop3 server and should > be able to send mail through ISP's SMTP server. > This is required because in the absence of one another can download mail and > send mail.
