Hi to all,
When I became a member of FSF movement they gently gave me an e-mail address,
Now I'm using this address for XMPP but how can I use it for e-mail too? I'm using mutt as e-mail client so I need the parameters to configure it.
Thanks for help
Cheers

The @member.fsf.org email address is a forwarding address. There is no POP/IMAP/SMTP server for you to use. If you log in to http://my.fsf.org you can set where the email is forwarded to.

"What a pity,i really wanted as my primary e-mail address"

There's nothing to stop that: Use it for whatever. Have it forward to somewhere that you read it. When you reply, use that address in your replies. Ta Da. Of course, that depends on the features of the email server that you're using and if they let you set your own FROM: address. If they don't let you do that then that mail server is not worth using. :)
