Ok here's a (somewhat detailed) step by step. 1) set up fetchmail to download your mail from your pop account onto your local computer. a) apt-get install fethcmail b) this is my ~/.fetchmailrc: poll pop.psq.com protocol pop3 username [EMAIL PROTECTED] password ******** poll mail.crasseux.com protocol pop3 username trustno1 password ******** Adapt this to your account. c) either run fetchmail by hand each time you want to retrieve mail or d) add an entry in your personal crontab Mine is: * * * * * fetchamil &> /dev/null Which runs fetchmail once a minute. 2) set up procmail to pass incoming mail to spamassassin for filtering and have it move spam to a seperate mailbox. procmail should already be installed but if not: apt-get install procmail This is what my ~/.procmailrc file looks like: #Use spamassassin to flag spam. Note I usually use spamc instead of #spamassasin for better performance. :0fw | /usr/bin/spamassassin #Move flagged spam into the spam folder. :0: * ^X-Spam-Status: Yes /home/bijan/IMAP/INBOX.Spam #Handle mailing lists :0 * ^X-Mailing-List.*debian /home/bijan/IMAP/INBOX.Debian :0 * ^List-Id:.*hurd /home/bijan/IMAP/INBOX.Hurd :0 * ^TO.*ICEBIKE /home/bijan/IMAP/INBOX.Icebike :0 * ^TO.*mlug /home/bijan/IMAP/INBOX.MLUG 3) install an imap or pop server on your computer. I like IMAP because it allows me to check my mail from the road. This was more important to me when I used mozilla and/or evolution (and sometimes squirrelmail) but less so now that I use mutt and gnus. I like uw-imapd because it doesn't require much setup. a) apt-get install uw-imapd b) add the names of the mbox (mailbox) files you want to the file ~/.mailboxlist Here's mine: INBOX IMAP/INBOX.Hurd IMAP/INBOX.Icebike IMAP/INBOX.MLUG IMAP/INBOX.Sent IMAP/INBOX.Spam IMAP/INBOX.Trash IMAP/INBOX.Drafts Trash Sent IMAP/INBOX.Debian 4) set up evolution to use your local imap or pop server This should be no problem. I hope that clears things up, Bijan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
