I don't think you do this.
Not a good idea to have your password in a
standard location.
You just want to have rebol as a client, always ready
to read email, not as a cgi, right?

no I want to send email through rebol.
unfortunately my email account needs to have
my password, also a username of name\domain
instead of [name--domain]. which rebol quits on
name\

Try:

The set-net function does not directly support this option; however, one can add a line
to the user.r file or script which directly inserts the password into the pop protocol:
system/schemes/pop/pass: "my-password"
Note that this does represent some security risk, so this information should only be
accessible to the script, and not to a web browser. Also note that the username name
can also be set as such:
system/schemes/pop/user: "my-user-name"
and then mail read via:
mail-data: read pop://pop3.mydomain.dom
Hope this helps.
