no popclient?
I see that popclient has been missing for sometime. I have a machine with popclient installed from some time ago (early days of bo). Just recently it has stopped working and I see no alternative package to get either the binary (popclient) or the equivalent (lightweight) functionality. The error I get when trying to pop off ANY server via my (rather old) popclient binary now is: popclient: querying mailserv.waikato.ac.nz at Mon Apr 20 15:23:43 1998 popclient: openuserfolder: open(): No such file or directory Now all my local mail readers work fine so there's no reason I know of why it's not happy anymore. The only shared lib it uses is libc5 (which I have).

Yes, you must have installed fetchmail package which can still be invoked as popclient, but behaves differently. E.g. some options in .poprc file are no longer supported, etc. But in your case, if you use -d 900 option, you have to use fetchmail itself. Anyway, check man fetchmail for details.

Re: popclient
Miro Does anyone know how to use procmail with popclient? When Miro configured to use procmail, popclient exits saying that it can't exec Miro a few things. Any hints? :-) The two are unrelated. I use popclient as in popclient -3 -P file_with_password hostname to grab the mail. Procmail gets into the picture via the ~/.forward file once popclient has the mail delivered locally (which uses smail on my box). I explained the .forward and .procmail setup in a couple of mails here recently, email me if you can't find a copy. Otherwise, the procmail doc included in the package is pretty good. -- Dirk Eddelbuttel http://qed.econ.queensu.ca/~edd
