Hi,
You know I can send my fetchmail configuration file to you if you want.
The mail gets delivered to the mailbox from which you run fetchmail.
Quite basically, do the following:
$ vi ~/.fetchmailrc
Enter the following (type "i" to start the insert process):
server mailserver.org
protocol POP3
user username
Replace mailserver.org with your POP3 server, and username with your mail
username. Save this file, then use the following command line to get it
all started:
$ fetchmail -d 240
This runs fetchmail in the background. Your best bet is to start it in an
X session, becuase otherwise, everytime you recieve email, it is broadcast
to all of the terminals. ;-)
