Hi, all,

It looks like I might soon be in posession of a POP3 mailbox (in 
addition to my Demon SMTP account), so I could do with some advice 
about the best way forward.

If I get hold of NOSPOP3, can I just swap it for NOS 0.42 and add the 
POP3 stuff to the startup file? What I'd *like* to happen would be for 
the normal SMTP in/out to Demon to continue as usual, with the POP3 
connection happening in addition. Will this version of NOS do this or 
will it just get confused because it's trying to download mail two 
different ways?

Would I be better leaving things alone and trying to set up Antmail 
for the POP3 stuff?

TIA,
John

BTW, I've discounted Oasis 2.05 as an option at present as it's way 
too unstable on my setup at present.
