Not quite sure what you mean. Do you know the name of the POP server?
Oh, or do you mean that you feed it (for instance) "gordon(a)gjcp.net" and
it parses it into "gordon" and "gjcp.net" for the username and
hostname?
Can anyone recommend a decent/simple email program
that runs under either
DOS or Window3 (NOT win32!!!) that has the ability to let you specify a
incoming mail server separate from the POP account?
Have you considered sticking one of the free Unixes onto a machine? You
can fit NetBSD into around 300-400M of disk space. Once you go down
that route, your options are limitless...
Until I find something, I can only access this list
(and all other email)
via a web based reader (very slow on dial-up and inpossible to do a decent
reply).
Ewww, webmail. Ewww, dialup.
