I think it was you before who mentioned this. And I completely agree! It's just finding the time to do it. >As best I can tell, you do need some 3rd party stuff (fetchmail?) to make >the two talk. Yeah, this is part of the confusion. You absolutely do NOT need any additional components to talk to a "normal" modern mail server with nmh 1.7.1 (we have a bug dealing with password prompting that Norm is running into; should we release 1.7.2?). A lot of people will tell you, "I use fetchmail with nmh!". And I understand why, because for a very long time you did need something like fetchmail to work properly with nmh, and so they set that up 15 years ago and have no desire to change it. If you choose to use fetchmail or a local SMTP server with nmh, that is fine; continue to do that! But it is not required. --Ken
