Really that would be much more helpful than all the negativity. And point well taken that creating a secure mail server is probably beyond the means of a newbie like myself. So let me re-phrase: What other tools do I need for my Linux box to be able to retrieve pop3 mails from my ISP server and then allow me to access downloaded emails remotely either over the web or through IMAP or POP3.
