Using Elm for OS/2 together with OS/2 Warp 3.0 Internet Access Kit (POP3 mail)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following text was posted as a Usenet news article and describes
how Elm can be used with the POP3 mail system implemented in the OS/2
Warp 3.0 Internet access kit. See also ELMPOP.FAQ for someone else's
recipe.

: I will be posting the results of my work installing Elm when everything is
: running properly. For now, the necessary code can be located on hobbes in
: the following directories:
As promised, here is my current setup for running Elm/POP...Everything is
running correctly, and both incoming and outgoing mail is being accepted.
To implement Elm w/ POP client, you need the following files:
Elm v2.3.11: /os2/32bit/unix/elm23_2.zip
POP Client v2.21: /os2/32bit/unix/popcl221.zip
as well as whatever version of the EMX Runtime Libraries you like (emxrt*.zip)
Installation:
Unzip Elm into it's own subdir and add the /Elm/bin directory to your
path in config.sys. Also unzip POP Client into the /Elm/bin directory.
Add the following lines to your Config.Sys file (assuming Elm in D:\ELM
and the EMX Runtime Library in D:\EMX):
SET TERM=mono
SET TERMCAP=D:\EMX\ETC\TERMCAP.DAT
SET UUPCSYSRC=D:\ELM\ELM-TCP.RC
SET UUPCUSRRC=D:\ELM\ELM-TCP.RC
Next, configure the ELM-TCP.RC file for your host and dir structure
(assuming the IAK was installed in D:\TCPIP). As an example, I have
included a portion of my ELM-TCP.RC file, which connects me to
albert.nuc.umr.edu:
ConfDir=D:\tcpip\etc
MailDir=D:\tcpip\mail
TempDir=D:\tcpip\tmp
Mailbox=sdrumm
Name=Scott W. Drumm
Home=D:\tcpip\home
Now configure the PopCliD.cmd file for your host as follows:
host = 'albert.nuc.umr.edu'
loginname = 'sdrumm'
password = 'xxxxxxxx'
delay = ###
mda_path = 'filter.exe'
mda_args = '-v -u sdrumm'
Reboot, and that should be it. Create icons for Elm and PopClient if
you wish, or add them to FileBar/LaunchPad.
A couple of additional notes....
1. You'll need to specify a pager in ELM-TC.RC such as OnScreen,
List, whatever OR select 'o' from the Elm menu, and enter 'builtin' in the
"Display mail using" field.
2. Elm likes to have it's help files in \TCPIP\ETC\ELM. I didn't
argue wit it on that one. :)
3. The file README.PGP in /Elm tells you how to add support for
PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) if you'd like.
