<para>If you have got a statically assigned IP number, you should

<para>If you have got a dynamically assigned IP number and use a

mail server. Lets assume your ISPs domain is

<para>In order to retrieve mail from your mailbox, you will need

many different protocols. Usually, POP3 will be provided by

automatically fetch your mail when a connection to the 'net is
