I used fetchmailconf to start and then altered the configuration to suit
me.
set logfile ""
set postmaster ""
set no bouncemail
set no spambounce
set daemon
poll pop.mail.yahoo.com tracepolls with proto POP3 timeout 60
user '@yahoo.com' there with password '' is
'@gmail.com' there with password '' is
'' here options fetchall stripcr ssl sslcertck
mda '/usr/lib/sendmail -i -oem -f %F %T'
antispam 571 550 501 554
I hand mail off to procmail for local sorting.
I store/deliver all mail to my local server and run a tmux session there.
I remotely access the tmux session to read/write mail and other tasks.
it is a single user system so not much else is required, ie: dovecot, etc.
