-
- NuPOP and POPmail/PC are two independent programs -- I do not believe that
- one has evolved into the other -- although the acknowledgement screens would
- indicate that their was/is much co-operation in their development.
-
- NuPOP does offer features not found in POPMail/PC such as Webster,
- but POPmail/PC also has features not found in NuPOP -- such as support for
- a campus "whois" server running on any port.
-
- One important feature that POPmail/PC supports is that you can configure the
- POP server port - important on a campus such as ours where a POP3 server is
- being run on TCP port 109 (instead of the usual 110). I am not sure whether
- NuPOP supports allows for this flexibility.
