Is it possible to configue MS Outlook 2k to be used as a mail client for a LINUX sendmail server? If so how?

Really appreciate any help with this....

Are you running Outlook 2k on a Windows pc? If so, yes. Your Linux box will just act as a POP server. You'd need to setup POP of course on the Linux box. Qpopper is pretty easy to setup. What version of Linux?
 
Thanks, I have 1/2 of it working - I can send via Outlook (2K) through sendmail. I still can't received - but I think the problem is in authentication....

I will also look at the qpopper, but I think it is running...
