retrieving email (guestions by a newbie)

[Paul E Condon <pecondon quiknet com>]

I also am trying to retrieve email using balsa, but my situation seems 
to be different from that of Mike McCue. I also have RedHat 7.1 
workstation. The version of balsa that comes from RedHat is balsa-1.1.1. 
I have email service via an ISP using PPP. I have been retrieving my 
email using Mozilla 0.7 and various versions of netscape. Now I want to 
try out balsa.

When I start balsa I find myself in a setup script that asks me for my 
local mail directory, and my inbox file. My problem is that I don't 
have, to my knowledge, an inbox file on my computer. My incoming mail is 
being held at my ISP and I must set up balsa to fetch it. What do I type 
in order to accomplish this set up?

Please help.
