[Mew-dist 14003] Re: [mew-int 00012] Mew 1.95b56

Thank you so much for your information.
I have made a download of mew-1.95b54 and mew-1.95b56 and
upgraded from mew-1.95b53 in my Laser5 Linux6.2(Emacs20.6) 
by the instruction of 00readme in the tar ball. 
SMTP is ok to send a email, but POP could not get any  email
from my POP server. When I type "i" to get email from
POP sever the error message "connection failed" come up. 
I guess something wrong in my configuration related to POP.
Is the Config file in ~/.im/ still necessary for POP? 
In the README it said IF YOU WANT TO USE THE 'CONFIG' FEATURES,
PLEASE CONFIGIGURE 'mew-config-alist'. But I have no idea howto
configure it. Otherwise, if I do not want use Config file, is there any
other way to configure POP? How to pass the information of my POP
server to Mew without the Config?

I have moved everything under ~/.im to ~/Mail, but POP does not
work yet.

Thank you for your consideration.

Wen
