Hey there Gena! Looks like you need to read the man page on fetchmail. But better yet I will include an example .fetchmailrc file. set daemon 300 poll speech.braille.uwo.ca proto pop3 user username pass password keep Sendmail on slackware should work fine right out of the box in most cases. If you need help with that we will want to talk on the reflector. One step at a time. Don't set up procmail until you are getting your mail with fetchmail. Hope this helps!
