Hep CVS, Part 4: Reading messages through e-mail
I’m having a busy day today, so today’s stop on our tour of Hep CVS will be
a short one.
As with previous versions, the CVS version of Hep lets you download new
messages into your email client through POP3. There are a couple of
differences, though. First, the port has been changed from 5536 to 5110 (If
you’ve been paying attention you may notice a pattern here: Hep servers run
on [regular port]+5000). Second, the POP3 server now uses your “New
Messages” view to determine which messages will be available for you to
download. If you set up your email client to delete messages after
downloading, Hep will mark the messages as having been read, making them
disappear from your “New Messages” view.
Here’s a screen shot of Evolution displaying messages downloaded from Hep:
