Pine is not free software. In fact I can't even find it in Debian package search, so it may not even meet the requirements for the non-free section of Debian. That may explain why it is not in Oralux. > First of all, where do you have your spool file variable set to pick > up the mail when it comes into the machine?

Under Debian it seems /var/spool/mail is a symbolic link to /var/mail. > Now, about fetchmail. Where does it put the mail. Fetchmail normally talks to the mail server running on your machine (via port 25, the standard SMTP port). I think you really need to a run a local mail server, even though it seems redundant. It might be possible to go without and D-I-Y, but it will be more work in the long run. The one I use is Exim, which I find the easiest to configure. I also use Mutt for reading mail.
