Hi,
I have installed Fedora 4 on my desktop computer and the installation
went well. I haven't set it up as a server, so now I can only
send/receive my pop email only on my desktop. I want to be able to
send/receive on my laptop. My question is how do I accomplish that?

Thats not so easy,
look if IMAP is what you need.
Indeed. Though, some ISPs do not support IMAP.
I'd ask your ISP if they support IMAP access.
I set up a used junk PC I bought real cheap as my own imap server.
It uses fetchmail to pop my pop accounts - and procmail to filter into
folders. In addition to my mail clients, I also use squirrelmail to read
(though not send).
That way I don't need to use imap facilities of my ISP, my accounts are
all pop.
I do use my ISP's smtp server though.
I have tried squirrelmail too. But i found no way to tell the programm
to auth at the smtp-server of my provider!
You use you own Server? Thats a bit tricky i think, you need own dns
entries and so on. Thats all a bit to much for newbies (like newbie and me)
