2) setting up client access for pop3 and nntp? I checked the mail(1)
manpage, but it didn't want to give up its secrets. (that is, I have
a remote pop3 account and would like to be able to download its
messages to my PC while in plan9.)
I have patches to upas/fs that provide pop3 access.
If you bug me, I'm happy to provide them. No one,
to my knowledge, has done anything for nntp, although
it's a file system just itching to be written.
I use my pop3 patches almost exclusively, to get around network
failures between me and my mail server. They're not
in the system proper because they store your password
in a plain text file, which is not great. I believe a
more general solution is planned.
