Hi Cliff,

I wish there was an RPM available for this, rpmfind.net lists only one 4.01
RPM compiled with APOP - which I can't use - need OS auth and was looking
for 4.04 for security fixes.  I installed the imap rpm and selected the pop
option and was running in under 5 minutes.  That being said I'm reading into
the security of this package and I'm not happy with it - I'll clean up this
box and try qpopper a few more times - worse comes to worse I'll run imap's
pop server for a few days while I rebuild the old RH 7.1 box to a bare build
and try qpopper on that one.

Thanks for the input all.

Mike

  I just realized something - the 10W light bulb belatedly went on.

  You're using Redhat?  Install an RPM for qpopper; someone else has
done all the work.  End of problem.  If you're thinking of switching to
imap, this is sure to be less work.
