Thanks Hal, just learned a little bit more.  So now I need to look at 
sendmail, fetchmail, postfix.  Think they're installed so will take a 
look a conf files.  Hope they are all not as hard as postfix.  Would be 
nice if they all came configured except for adding you email accounts.
Your info will get working on what I should be doing. Thanks a bunch,
