[OSX-Users] two questions about mail

Hi,
I have two seperate questions about mail which I am hoping somebody  
can help me with.

Firstly on my iphone I can now only access my ECS mail after setting  
up a VPN when I am
outside the university. I do not need to do this with my macbook so I  
am not sure what is
going on. This has only started happening since I upgraded to 3.0. All  
things considered
it is probably more secure this way but still it would be nice to have  
to avoid doing this everytime.

Secondly I am trying to import mail boxes from alpine running on a  
linux box to my mac. Mail.app
imports everything with no problems except my sent-mail file which it  
refuse to read as a mbox
and so doesn't import anything. Looking at the file using vi the  
format looks identical to any other
mbox so again I am confused as to what is happening.

cheers,
Neil
