In the last post, a mail server setup was demonstrated. This post will demonstrate the setup of a mail client. Again, the setup of mail client is fairly straightforward. Here is the run.
On the client side, ensure the /var/mail directory is present.
# ls -l /var/mail
If not, create it.
# cd /var
# mkdir mail
Now modify the client's /etc/vfstab file
# vi /etc/vfstab
esoft:/var/mail - /var/mail nfs - yes -
:wq!
Now mount /var/mail
# mount /var/mail
Verify the /var/mail is actually being shared from the mail server
# cd /var/mail
# df -k .

ncftp might be a better deal. It's avalable on all systems including Solaris.
In this case you can use bookmarks (username and password are stored in bookmark).

kievite,
Thank you for your comment
Do you mean use ncftp for the mail client setup vs NFS?? Please explain.
