Hi Folks,

I am running various version of DUNIX on various Alphastations, and I was
trying to use the mh function inc to try to retrive mail from my POP
server. If I type inc -help, I get a list of options that show me that
I can specify a source (pop), host, and a user account to retrieve the
mail message. When I do this on a Solaris 2.6 system, it seems to work.
But I can't seem to get it to work on any of the DUNIX systems. I always
get the message:

inc: no pop servers available

The man pages for mh and inc mention nothing about POP servers. Does
anyone know what I need to set up to make this work?

One of the outputs I get with inc -help is:

version: MH 6.7 #1[UCI] (croak.zk3.dec.com) of Mon Dec 29 19:09:08 EST 1997

thanks in advance for any information on this.
eyc
