Re: Telnet/pop3 Problem

It's easiest if you don't read mail as root -> think of root as being just a
tool for adminitering the computer. It's not a user, per se. You should
create your own account that you use for email, and just have a .forward
file in root so that messages sent to root get to your mailbox.

Cheers,
Liam
