Hi,

And Josh is the lucky winner.  Qpopper is a POP server and therefore will
not help you *receive* e-mail via POP much.  You could do it the MX
record/sendmail route, but it does not work well for dial-ups.  Fetchmail
is great as a POP client.  I use it on my laptop running FreeBSD.

The URL is:
