Subject: Erols and IMAP

We have someone in our group, that wants to access their
email from their erols account using pine (on a unix system).

Does anyone know if erols has the ability to IMAP access to
their members mail? I tried erols.com as the host, but our
DNS shot that one down. Would the username/password be the
same as thier login username/password?

We are using pine 4.05.

Thanks

when I worked there, there was no IMAP support for customers..but that was
a year ago -- the appropriate mail server is pop.erols.com -- if that
doesn't work, then you might try using fetchmail to grab the mail via pop
and deposit it on the local unix box, that's what I do these days :)

P.S. they also used to get real cranky about poeple leaving mail on the
server...
