  Under IRIX 5.2, set the environment variable MAILHOST to the name of
  the mail server, and set the zmail variable 'use_pop'.  You may also
  wish to set the zmail variable 'pop_options' to have mail retained on
  the server. Your userids on the machine with MediaMail and on the POP
  server must be the same.

! Under IRIX 5.3 all of the above still applies as well as the
! following: You can set the zmail variable 'mailhost' instead of the
! environment variable MAILHOST.  You can set the zmail variable
  'pop_user' to your userid on the POP server if it is different from
  your local userid.

+ Note that MediaMail, like any POP client, cannot send mail to the POP
+ server, only retrieve mail which has been sent to the server. That's
+ just fine; doing the above doesn't prevent MediaMail from delivering
+ mail normally.

  updated version of MediaMail for IRIX 5.3.
