Martin, You don't need any options with fetchmail. You do need to set up your .fetchmailrc file. Note that tis filename begins with a period. The file should contain lines like the following: set daemon 900 poll [server] proto pop3 user [myname] pass [mypassword] The first line tells fetchmail to run as a daemon. The number at the end is the number of seconds between the times that fetccmail checks for mail. The second line tells fetchmail to poll your mail server and look for a POP3 account. The third line gives your username and password. If you have more than one account, you can repeat the second and third lines for each account, with appropriate changes. I had a lot of trouble figuring out all this from the verbose man page for fetchmail when I started, so I'm glad to help someone else get going.
