-This wiki describes a basic Debian install of paclink-unix that will work with most e-mail clients. If you are installing paclink-unix on a machine with no keyboard or display then you will use a command line mail client like [[http://​www.mutt.org/​ | mutt]]. If the install is to a '​regular'​ linux box with keyboard & screen I'm going to assume you are using Thunderbird email client ​or something that allows configuring a Unix movemail account.+This wiki describes a basic Debian install of paclink-unix that will work with most e-mail clients. If you are installing paclink-unix on a machine with no keyboard or display then you will use a command line mail client like [[http://​www.mutt.org/​ | mutt]]. If the install is to a '​regular'​ linux box with keyboard & screen I'm going to assume you are using Claws-mail, Rainloop or Thunderbird email clients ​or something that allows configuring a Unix movemail account. For some background on how e-mail works I found this link helpful: [[http://​wiki.mutt.org/?​MailConcept | A short introduction to the notorious MxA bunch]].
  
-While I have installed & config'​ed sendmail, the package, I think it is easier to config ​[[http://​www.postfix.org/ ​postfix]] for the MTA. There is usually some confusion over **sendmail**. There is [[wp>​sendmail]] the package & sendmail the program which can be found in any of these Debian packages:+===== Before you Start =====

-You do **not** need to install an imap or pop3 server to get paclink-unix to work. For your initial install I advise against doing this. After you have confirmed that paclink-unix is working with just an MTA only then would I embark on configuring an imap or pop3 server. Why would you want an imap or pop3 server? One of the ways I use paclink-unix is from my Android Nexus tablet I use the K-9 Mail program & invoke the wl2k transport programs via a web interface. That code is in the paclink-unix cvs tree under webapp. +
