>From your subject line it looks like you want to open the files with an email client. I usually use fetchmail in perl to process my pop account used for helpdesk management, but I found this which should help you, you can use foremail which is from procmail to form the mbox type files which you can open up with an email client. In your fetchmail rc file, put in the following config with these directions from another users suggestion, just found this on a quick google, hope this helps. Use the following fetchmail configuration as a template. Replace all USERNAME with your unix user account name, all PASSWORD with the password for that IMAP account, all IMAPUSER with the IMAP username, all MAILHOST with the IMAP serverhostname and finally all MBOXPATH your mbox (absolute) filenames. --- BEGIN CONFIG --- set postmaster "USERNAME" set bouncemail set no spambounce set softbounce set properties "" set no showdots poll MAILHOST with proto IMAP user 'IMAPUSER' there with password 'PASSWORD' is 'USERNAME' here options keep fetchall ssl mda "formail -c >> /MBOXPATH/inbox" folder INBOX poll MAILHOST with proto IMAP user 'IMAPUSER' there with password 'PASSWORD' is 'USERNAME' here options keep fetchall ssl mda "formail -c >> /MBOXPATH/sent" folder INBOX.Sent --- END CONFIG --- Damian Kohlfeld -----Original Message----- From: users-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:users-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Michael Hennebry Sent: Saturday, June 18, 2011 11:46 PM To: Community support for Fedora users Subject: Re: How do I point a mail client at Microsoft outlook?
