The Luxury of Ignorance: An Open-Source Horror Story (catb.org)The Luxury of Ignorance: An Open-Source Horror Story (catb.org)Posted Mar 1, 2004 15:38 UTC (Mon) by copsewood (subscriber, #199)In reply to: The Luxury of Ignorance: An Open-Source Horror Story (catb.org) by metacircles Parent article: The Luxury of Ignorance: An Open-Source Horror Story (catb.org) I don't entirely agree about the GUI for fetchmail configuration being useless, as I was able to use this tool for a successful config first time I did this when I knew rather less about fetchmail, SMTP and POP3 than I do now. However, I did also find it easier to handcraft existing .fetchmailrc's by hand later when I had a slightly better idea about what was going on. This beats the Windoze philosophy where you don't have the ability to get your hands under the bonnet unless you are willing to risk rubbishing the whole system with regedit, not just the component you are working on.
