James,

Demon do not offer POP mail as standard, so unless you have a POP mailbox
somewhere else - the POP part of ANT mail is no use to you. You can import
mail from the NOS mail directory - but you need to have run NOS (or the
equivalent) online first... :(

The only real advantage of a POP mailbox is you can retrieve your email
from any internet connection, you don't have to be logged on to your own
Demon account in the UK - so not much use unless you're doing a lot of
travelling.

Anys SMTP listeners on the horizon for STiK????

(BTW: anyone who does feel a strong need to get a POP mailbox at a very
small fraction of the cost from Demon - email me!)
