[mew-int 00819] Re: Mew error on startup

[Jonathan Meeks]

That helped.  My /tmp folder was not writable.  I did a chmod -R 1777
/tmp and it got to the +inbox.

Now I get "pop.newsguy.com/pop3 Servname not supported for
ai_socktype, nil" as it tries to pop.  

Thanks for your help,

Jonathan Meeks
