You don't tie fetchmail to mutt:), but you could tie it to pppd and have automatic fetchmail incantations each time you enter the internet. [mutt's G-command is a poor mans version of fetchmail buildin into mutt and must be configured in ~/.muttrc independently from your fetchmail config, most think that you're better off with the one and only real fetchmail]; To do so you'll have to copy as root the example fetchmail-up and fetchmail-down scripts from /usr/share/doc/fetchmail to /etc/ppp/ip-up and /etc/ppp/ip-down resp., next you'll need to: # mv ~your-user-name/.fetchmailrc /etc/fetchmailrc # chown root:root /etc/fetchmailrc To make this really rock, you'll beter add "set daemon 901" to the general section of your /etc/fetchmailrc file. This tells fetchmail to go into daemon mode and poll each 901 sec. (each 15 min.) as long as you're on-line. The ip-down script tells fetchmail to stop just after the ppp-link is brought down. > But it also tells me that there is some failure while retrieving. Pleas tell us what error messages you get? Try "fetchmail -v -v" to get more info. (better do this before you tie fetchmail to ppp) -- groetjes, carel
