thanks gordon

you could consider breaking up 50multi-pop, 
this works for now

[ i was going to ask you to make /etc/startmail a template but you 
already have :-) ]

i created a blank template-custom/fetchmail/50multi-drop
then split the existing file up 
you can see what i did from this example,  50multi-dropD
i did this to 
* insert a 'set daemon 60' fragment between A and D 
* allow for multiple pop3 mail collection

the files must be in order so i called them 
50multi-drop
50multi-dropA 
50multi-dropB
..
50multi-dropZ
