Hi,<br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />
I am trying to install a pop3 server in debian 5. This will fetch the mails from the ISP to the local clients and should forward the mails from the local clients to ISP.<br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />
Earlier I have tried with Postfix combination with dovecat and fetchmail. And sometimes They worked too.<br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />
If you have any successful installation like this, pls let me know.<br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />
With advance thanks,<br />
<br />

			<description><![CDATA[<br />
I'm running Ubuntu 5.04 and I'm probably missing something obvious. I have added a user (call it user 2) and want this user to be part of my group so we can share common interest work files. I have:<br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />
home/odyssey<br />
<br />
and<br />
<br />
home/user2<br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />
so it appears to me that user2 is not in my group. No?<br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />
When user2 signs in, they cannot see the folder on my desktop that we both need to be able to access and I want it to show on the desktop of user2. Try as I might I cannot "re-assign" user2 to my group. <br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />
Ubuntu is the only distro I have tried to do anything with, so groups maybe are not something that is common to all distros?<br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />
What should I do? TIA<br />
<br />
