Though it's a bit unrelated......
Does anyone know of a good, working, free, POP3 server? <application: to run
for personal use, not a web-based account handler like hotmail or anything>

Thanks.

I'm going to be setting up POP on my server soon. It won't be free, but
it'll be cheap. (A few dollars a month, in the < 5 rage).

Actually, perhaps I should restate my question:
I need a program that I can run <for a POP server> from a computer, for
others, or myself to connect to and receive eMail. I've got SMTP all taken
care of, but I'm having trouble here.

Hamster http://www.tglsoft.de/misc/hamster_en.htm is a mail/news server that comes with source code, great for learning too if you code in Delphi.

Blech... SMTP always works for me fine. Again, with Hamster, I'm having
trouble getting the POP server to work. Actually, it's the best server I've
run into so far, yet I'm still having the problem.

If there's a solution . . .

The best mail server available on the Internet, in my opinion, is the
Argosoft mail server. It's completely free, extremely fast, doesn't have
any nag boxes or shareware notices, installs with a simple wizard, is
bug-free (as far as I can tell) and doesn't have any useless features that
slow the thing down.

Try going to www.argosoft.com and downloading it :)

I dunno :-p
Everytime I try to send mail from another eMail to the addy being hosted on
the POP server by me, it doesn't receive to the server, therefore it can't
be received by me through a mail client...The eMail I originally sent it
from doesn't even get a SubSystem Error in return...it acts like its
sent...when I check the folder that incoming mails goto on the server,
there's nothing there. o.O

Yeah, I was actually using Argosoft......I used to be able to use it and
receive mail, but not send, but now SMTP works fine, and incoming mail
doesn't transfer atall.
Maybe it's me -- I'll look around some help files.

Could be a firewall issue, or maybe your ISP have plugged the POP port
because they don't want you to run one...
