Glad you got it working... Fetchmail is overkill when using netscape mail because netscape can poll your POP3 mailbox without an external program. However, if you've got several POP3 accounts, fetchmail is very useful. It's also useful if you want to use something like procmail to filter and process your incoming. Here's an example .fetchmailrc that runs as root at system startup and polls two POP3 mailboxes at five minute intervals whenever your ppp link is up: **fetchmailrc*** # log to the system log set syslog # all screwed-up stuff goes to postmaster set postmaster "postmaster" # check every 300 seconds set daemon 300 # Get mail from two POP3 mailboxes when PPP link is up # and drop in local mailbox of user 'echarter' poll mail.myisp.com with protocol POP3 timout 250 interface ppp0/0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 user "myisppoplogin" there with password "myisppasswd" is echarter here options fetchall poll mail.mysecondisp.com with protocol POP3 timeout 250 interface ppp0/0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 user "mysecondisplogin" there with password "mysecondisppasswd" is echarter here options fetchall
