Hi,
Here is what my .fetchmailrc looks like:
==============================
set daemon 180
set postmaster assured
poll mail.assuredcomp.com proto pop3
user [EMAIL PROTECTED] pass "password" is bob
# keep
fetchall
==============================
This means check for new mail every 180 seconds.
Error messages get sent to the admin account.
Poll mail.assuredcomp.com with the pop3 protocol. In your case pop3.efn.org (or the
way you have it defined in kmail).
login with your user name and password. It's defined in kmail. the "is bob" means
deliver the mail to bob locally.
"keep" is if you want to leave the mail on the server.
"fetchall" is if you want to download it to your local computer.
You can call it from /etc/profile with:
/usr/bin/fetchmail -f /home/bob/.fetchmailrc
I hope this helps.
