I have been trying to use plan 9 to check my email but I am getting
stuck. I have a pop3 account with gmx.net and here is what I have
typed on the command line to check it..

upas/fs -f /pop/pop.gmx.net/my_user_name

The first time I did that, I was asked for my password. It accepted it
and the I got the term% prompt again.

When I executed 'mail' from acme, it said that I had 0 messages. I
know for a fact that there were messages on the server, why were they
not downloaded?

Also, I am confused about how to send mail using an authenticated smtp
server. What do the different rewrite files do? I have edited my
rewrite.gateway file to point to my smtp server (mail.gmx.net). But
how do I handle authentication? I have also added a 'From' header file
in my /mail/box/user_name/headers file. Will this 'From' header be
used for every email I send from my account?
