Hello,
Thanks to those who answered my question on upgrading from RH 7.1 to 7.2.
Here's one last question before I switch to Linux except for some office
chores that require Windows.
I've been reading the manuals for Fetchmail and Pine, but I can't quite
figure out where to put the various information for setting up an e-mail
account. So I'm wondering if there is a howto that explains step by step
what to do to set upo an e-mail account in RedHat.
My current e-mail address, director@chpi.org is provided by our Webhosting
service. We also have DSL from a different company. To set up this account
on Linux, i will have to specify the webhosting company's server for
incoming mail, the DSL company's server for outgoing mail, the account name
assigned to be by the Webhosting company, my e-mail name, "director", and of
course my password with the Webhosting company. Where does all this
information go?
I also have an Internet Ministry account which is set up in a similar way.
I'm anxious to get off of Windows with its lack of security and instability.
Thanks.
John
