Hello~! Thanks for your kind response. Now I can use pop3 mail client using Tor network due to your help
I am reading the thesis "Tor:The Second-Generation Onion Router" There are some explains about Tor directory server.
I have another Question about Tor Directory server.
- User's local SW(ex) Vidalia) already know directory server's IP or
URL? Is it pre-loaded at SW? (This Question means "how to access to directory server?")
- How to user's local SW( ex) Vidalia) receive directory information?
Directory server send this information directly or other ORs transfer this information? ( In vidalia control panel- relay setup, there are "Mirror the relay directory" option) If other OR's transfer this infomation, Why directory server doesn't send directly?
- In this thesis, "there are 3 directory server, but we expect as
many as 9 as the network scale" Now, How many directory server exist?(still 3 servers or increase)
All directory server have same directory information?
Is there any links or files about directory server's work(detailed
explanation)?
Always thanks your kind response Best regards
Leejiunsik

Hi
Dear user:
This is leejunsik in Korea. I'm studying computer network in
college.
I have some Question about Tor.
We are happy you use Tor and try to understand it.
In "Vidalia control panel- Setup Relay-Sharing" I can select Exit Policies. => It's mean I can use other services(POP3,IMAP,chat) using TOR
I know that I can use web-browsing using Tor browser. But I'dont know How can I use POP3, IMAP, chat etc. .
- Is there any other Tor application for using POP3, IMAP, etc.
??
You should either
a) use a Tor-aware mail application. We do not know any of these
reliable
at the moment. b) Torify an existing mail application. You should be very careful
and read
this:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/TorifyHOWTO/EMail
c) Use Tor as a SOCKS proxy and route your standard e-mail
applications
through it. You should read this: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/SupportPrograms
- When I send ping or nmap or nslookup message In console
terminal, Is
there any way to use Tor??
ICMP PING is in the same layer as IP, while SOCKS provides TCP
proxying
(one layer above), so no, there is currently no way to use Tor for that.
Please let me know about it.
I'll wait your response.

Hope you can help!
