Is your local login name nielsen? If not, you will need to tell fetchmail what
user to
deliver the mail to. My ISP login is robmacw and my local login is rob, so you
probably
need to change your something like mine:
poll mail.cl-sys.com proto pop3:
user robmacw, with password notonyourlife
is rob here and wants mda "/usr/bin/procmail -f -";
The stuff after the "and" is probably unecessary until you get fetchmail
working.
Try it out. If you need more help, just ask.
