are you sure your DNS is working ?

now is the time to check /sys/log/smtp and /sys/log/smtp.fail

for reading : I have two drawterms open
one runs faces & irc on monitor 1

on monitor 0 I have acme and my working windows, I have not even tried to get them to talk to each other


however I can right click in faces and get a nedmail window

presumably you already have
upas/fs
in your profile

to view mail in Acme you also need to have this in your profile :

bind -a /acme/mail/$cputype /bin


then, middle clicking Mail in Acme will open the mail browser

/mail/fs/mbox/  is also worth exploring outside of Mail


I also have /usr/matt/email.eml  which I use as a kind of email scratchpad

I have a few commands relevant to email in there and I send it with one of them :

#  cat /usr/matt/email.eml | grep -v '^#' | upas/send 9fans@cse.psu.ed
#  tail -n 5 /sys/log/smtp
#  tail -n 5 /sys/log/smtp.fail
