Re: [newbie] config/start fetchmail

How to enter my user/server data in .netrc so: With 2 accounts on the same server (this means fetchmail cannot distinguish them?) - Fetchmail will use both to login - Right now it only uses the first of the two and doesn't use the later- I need to put the account information in the .fetchmailrc to pass this Anybody a clue? again, see the twiki site and the manpage, both have example configs. How can I configure fetchmail it will also download messages from other IMAP folders than only the Inbox. IMAP, I got no idea, there you'll need to consult docs on the fetchmail site. http://catb.org/~esr/fetchmail/ -- Joehill Registered Linux user #282046 Homepage: http://nodex.sytes.net 16:19:23 up 1 day, 14:28, 4 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Well, we've got to teach'em there's more than one way to skin a cat, dude...so he's got a choice - he can run the FETCHMAILCONF, or do it through Webmin, or through Linuxconf, or by hand... Thank you guys for pointing me out to three solutions. I will actually try and study them all! Kind regards, Erik -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging more http://www.gmx.net +++ Bitte lächeln!
