[mew-int 00820] Re: Mew error on startup SOLUTION

[Jonathan Meeks]

If found the other problem with ai_socktype not allowing pop3.  For
some reason pop3 was listed in my /etc/services as pop-3.  Copying it
and having it say pop3 solved the problem.

Thanks very much for the help.

Best Regards,

Jonathan Meeks
