Now I did these:
* edit /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf :
    and add the line
    dc_localdelivery='procmail_pipe'
* restart exim4 :
    invoke-rc.d exim4 restart
* view the /var/log/exim4/mainlog (These are lines for one mail only):
    [127.0.0.1] U=fetchmail P=esmtp S=8724 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
    fetchmail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> R=local_user T=procmail_pipe
    Completed

It is not quit clear to me this message abowe. It seems to me that 
exim4 get the mail from fetchmail and process it forward to esmtp, 
isn't it? But I don't understand the line "fetchmail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 
R=local_user T=procmail_pipe". Can you explain to me that, that what for 
stand fetchmail on the front of the line?

And why I still get the mails in /var/mail/fetchmail box, instead in the 
~/Mail/mbox -es? Thanks!
