I am trying to access my mail from my isp cox.net they allow me to access it from the web. webmail.west.cox.net or I can access it from a email client( they recommend MS outlook) They provide no support for linux( no big surprise there) All I want to do is access my mail with pop and send mail with smtp. Sending mail is no problem I am doing it right now using kmail which will send it through cox to plug and thats how you are reading it, The problem is when I want to read my mail I use kmail and it asks me a password every time. If I wanted to do this I would just use the web. They ask me for my passwd aswell. I want to be able to click on an icon and get my mail no passwd I am the only person who has access to this box so security is not an issue. I just want to press a button and BAM my mail is accessed downloaded and ready to read. No more no less. > For your morning you can not beat using ssh, though you will have to > enter a password.
