Thanks for the response.
I have a single vsnl account. There should be some criteria to sort the
mails  to individual account. How to do it? I think that after using
Kmail or nwtscape I can download mails. To send mail I use smtp server
address of vsnl. How to distribute or forward the mail from netscape or
kmail to individual accounts and then how to configure linux box so that
others can download their mail using their win boxes?
