Krister and all, Here is a sample .fetchmailrc which I am using, with the actual passwords changed to "PWD". It might not be exactly self explanatory, but it might be helpful to look at while reading the fetchmail man pages. Note that some of the lines are commented out with a hash mark or number sign in column one. They are ignored unless I remove those hash marks. I will happily answer any questions about it. It is a fairly simple setup. ---------- set invisible set no bouncemail set no spambounce poll mail.messagingengine.com protocol imap user chuckh at sent.com password PWD fetchall poll mail.novocon.net protocol pop3 user chuckh password PWD fetchall #user shep password PWD is chuckh here #fetchall poll mail.mhonline.net protocol pop3 user chuckh password PWD fetchall ---------- Chuck -- The Moon is Waning Crescent (4% of Full) Get my public key from website, http://www.mhonline.net/~chuckh
