Dovecot is a *server* program -- it makes e-mails available over IMAP or POP3 to client programs, like pine (or Mutt). I'm pretty sure that pine isn't packaged with a server program. You may well just need to use system-config-services to enable dovecot. Or you may need to edit /etc/dovecot.conf to reflect your system. You may also need to configure a "MTA" program like Postfix to send and receive e-mails to the outside world, and possibly also Fetchmail. In this case, you'd have: Your ISP's POP3 server --> fetchmail --> Postfix --> local storage --> Dovecot --> Webmail program. You may also want to look at SquirrelMail, which is in Fedora (a webmail package). Hope this helps, James. -- E-mail: james@ | "The duke had a mind that ticked like a clock and, like a aprilcottage.co.uk | clock, it regularly went cuckoo." | -- Terry Pratchett, Wyrd Sisters
