Well, you have to enable the fetchmail system-wide daemon in
/etc/default/fetchmail
Then you have to edit the /etc/fetchmailrc
Mine has:
poll pop.porchlight.ca with protocol pop3
user 'dtutty' there with password 'XXXXX' is 'dtutty' here
For additional external email addresses (assuming each local user has
their own), you just add more user lines.
I'm on dialup and find that fetchmail doesn't try-restart or other magic
correctly, so I altered /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/fetchmail to just
/etc/init.d/fetchmail restart
If you are on the internet long-term, some have reported that fetchmail
forgets to wake up. In that case, you could have a cron job that
restarts fetchmail every hour or so (depending on how long it takes to
go into a coma).
Good luck.
Doug.
