(not so sure I am right or wrong here.) Tried several times in add other account, not work. AFAIK, Icedove can't read maildir mailstores. You have two options, run an IMAP server that uses your maildir as a backend (dovecot, cyrus etc) or use a maildir-to-mbox conversion tool and import that. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

lina: It seems that my fetchmail saved in the :~/Maildir$ ls cur new new.sbd tmp.msf Trash.msfUnsent Messages.msf cur.msf new.msf tmp TrashUnsent Messages This is the Maildir format. You probably have a ~/.procmailrc that creates these folders. I wonder how to let the icedove read those fetched email. (not so sure I am right or wrong here.) You may have luck googling for thunderbord+maildir, or you just convert your maildirs to mbox files which Icedove should be able to read. But generally, maildir is preferrable to mbox.

Strangely I don't have the .procmailrc ~$ more .pr .printer-groups.xml .profile Frankly speaking I don't know how those come up there, the /etc/fetchmailrc didn't show me where to save the fetched email (I am quite confused about those things).
