If there were a way to collect mail with a non-secure connection, for example plain on port 25, other people on this list would hit me. Besides, for security reasons, this port is closed and only secure connection is allowed, with the cert expired and the sysad on vacation. Right now, the only way to read my mail--in the scenario mentioned, which is not unusual--is to use another one of a myriad of email clients, most of them free. -- Cheers, Thomas.
