Subject: [9fans] How to use POP3 as Part of upas/fs
Date: Thu, 30 Aug 2001 10:58:36 -0400 [thread overview]

I have been using Russ's pop3fs to get my mail but am having trouble
setting it up now that it is part of upas/fs. In particular, how does
it handle a POP3 user name that is different from my plan9 name
and how do I specify my POP3 password, mail collection rate and not
to use an APOP password.
I updated my plan9 distribution to the current June 5 partial update.
I have a standalone plan9 terminal.
I saw that pop3fs was part of upas/fs now. I followed the instructions
on the Mail Configuration page, starting it using:
upas/fs -f '/pop3/MySMTPServer/First Last'
I got the following error:
upas/fs: opening mailbox: file does not exist
I think this may happen at /sys/src/cmd/upas/fs/fs.c:221 and may be
because my mailbox is /mail/box/Plan9UserName not
'/mail/box/First Last'. The Fish and Wildlife Service determines
the account names, and they use names with spaces in them. (Problems
living within a Windows network with a Lotus Bloat mail
server) To account for the different user names, I tried
upas/fs -m/mail/box/Plan9UserName -f '/pop3/MySMTPServer/First Last'
with the same result.
I am a little confused why fs can't find the mailbox file because
the program looks like it makes a directory or mbox if either do not
exist.
Has anyone else set up the pop3 part of upas/fs and is using POP3?
Thanks.
Mark
