[Techtalk] Slackware 8.0 and pop mail

[Jennifer Davis]

Thanks Rob;

    I bought WinXP and installed it on my Windows cart this weekend.  I then
started cursing Microsoft for messing with pop3.  I made the change you
suggested and everything worked fine.  They are innocent (this time).

    I guess Slackware is not turning pop3 on by default anymore.

    Thanks for your help.

Jenn
