[olug] Thoughts on Webmail to POP3 client - SOLVED

Good afternoon all!

I was looking for a tool to download email from my Netscape web mail
account to my Mozilla email client - posted a message to the list but no
one bit. But do not fret - a hint at lunch today found my solution.

The new version of Netscape browser/email 'includes' a free Netscape email
account (like the one I already have). The install went flawless,
prompting me for my information & automaticly associating my free Netscape
email account with the one that already existed - associating with all the
files and folders; into my pre-existing Mozilla profile.

What does this solve?
- better interface to a web mail account I have had for years
- ability to block spammer cookies & image links
- ability to LART spam while not tipping off the spammers
- can use same profile in Mozilla
- bypass mailing issues with Netscape.net


Now to figure out a procmail.rc for this olug.org account...
