the 'old way' to read your emails if you have mailboxes on unix server
telnet localhost port 110
--example
telnet localhost 110
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
user darth
pass vader
list <--- will show a list of mails with index number
retr 5 <--- will retrieve mail number 5
of course only ascii in the mail can be seen if you have attachment it will just print the garbage character equivalent. you can of course point office communicator email like outlook to server and download email to view attachment.
as a side note such old style mailboxes on unix is very hackable very unsafe if your organization is still using this cheap method.
