I would look for a document on how to setup either a pop3 or an imap
server. If you are going to access the mail from several machines, you
will want imap. But outlook (in typical m$ fasion) uses a perverted form
of imap and it might not work. Good luck.

Nothing is hard if you know the answer or are used to doing it.

Hi, Jack,

     Go to ftp://updates.redhat.com/6.2/i386/.  Grab the imap-2000 package
and install it.  In /etc/inetd.conf, find the lines containing pop3 and
imap.  Remove the octothorp (#) from the beginning of both lines.  Then,
do: service inetd restart.  If you only want one of the services, just
uncomment the individual line.  I don't know anything about your mail
packages, so I don't know what the preferred protocol is.  That should
take care of collecting mail from your Linux box.
