Mac Forum / Applications / Mac Applications / March 2008qpopper 4.0.9 on OS X 10.5.2
I am trying to get local mail working. On 10.4 I used qpopper and it looks like I need that on 10.5 as well. I downloaded 4.0.9 to run on 10.5.2, because 4.0.5 won't work. However, I am at a loss as to what I have to do to get this to work on 10.5. It isn't obvious, and the mac instructions, such as they are, seem to be sadly out of date. Under 10.4.11, I had a pop3 file in xinetd.d, but that won't fly on 10.5. I think I have to use launchd, but I am clueless on how to set that up. The man pages, I am sure, are quite clear if you already know what you are doing. Oh, if there is another way than qpopper to do this, please tell me.  SignatureRobert B.

One has to edit it and enable it to load at system start. > I went thru the same ordeal and wound up switching to dovecot. > > loaded it via darwinports/macports... > > http://dovecot.darwinports.com/ Thanks. I'll give that a try if I come up empty on qpopper. I wasn't aware there was another popper out there. SignatureRobert B.
