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? Solomon

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)

Yeah - I don't use squirrelmail to send mail. It probably could be patched fairly easily to use my service providers smtp - but I generally just use my providers webmail to send when I'm not using a proper client.

Don't need your own dns server - mine sits on a local lan, not a real IP.
Now - I do happen to run a caching nameserver (on the same box) that resolves hostnames on my local lan, but you can also just put entries into the /etc/hosts files instead. That's what I use to do.
we need more information to help you... whhat is your setup, what os in on yoru laptop... and more

If you are talking about both on your laptop and desktop for the same account without imap, this may work for you.
Using Mozilla as a mail client on both computers, what I have done is use Unison (in extras) as a synchronizer between the two computers. When I log into the laptop, I run unison and then make sure that the mozilla directory is synced between the two computers. Before logging out, I do the same.
I have used unison for other things as well.
