[pmmail-list] pm mail problem for Brandon

[Marty Rimpau]

Hi, Steve, I don't know how to telnet, and ever since Norton 2002, you
didn't have to use 127.0.0.1 unlike Norton 2000, and Norton 2001.  In
Norton 2001, it would show what email clients were detected, and you
had to use 127.0.0.1 as the pop server, because 2001 didn't recognize
pm mail, but in Norton 2004, there isn't any way, to my knowledge, to
see what email clients are detected, but it apparently recognizes pm
mail, so with this in mind, what do I put in the fields in receive in
2004?  I'll keep your message, but I don't know how to telnet, because
I'm not a systems iengineer or programmer like the ones on the list.
