How do I configure exmh to use a POP mail server?

First you must make sure that your MH (or nmh) is compiled with support for POP. You can check by running “inc -help” and check that it supports the -host command line argument. You set the name of the POP3 mail server host under Incorporate Mail or The Top Ten preferences. You can also set up a ~/.netrc file that lists your POP3 servers and user accounts. This option requires the Expect program so that exmh can automatically manage your POP3 password.
