You could have simply installed the *update* of the imap rpm.
It contains a POP3 server.

If your iq95 box is on a lan with the POP3 server, use the static IP number
of the POP3 server's network card, not the dynamic ip number.
If you have to go through the Internet, you will have to telephone
and ask someone "what's the ip number this time" all the time.
You are in for a surprise if you telnet in thru the internet.
Lots of crackers are watching us. Do backups!
