What you need to do initially is go to the freenet FTP site and get the
latest version of POP (0.997). Set up the users as described in the POP
documentation, not as it says in Dispatches - (POP munges everything
internally to give the andy+petterson, but it makes it easier to understand
to the user)

Set up your user as andy@petterson, the host as pop3.demon.co.uk, your
password as your POP password.
Repeat this for all your mailboxes.

Go to newsbase setup, then go to filters. Create a new filter called
something like "andy redirect" (I call mine "polaris redirect")
Set it to filter mail, with conditions... "To : *andy*", action... "Redirect
: Email.Andy"

This will filter all incoming mail checking for the string "andy" in the "to"
field. If it comes across this, it will redirect it to the mailbox "andy"

Good luck

Followups set to something more suitable, and CCd because of the Demon news
problems. Again :-(
