I had the same problem a while ago and it was solved by users of this mailing list. I use exim, so get exim to filter mail into folders for me. On my system, I have a user 'sah1' so in my ~/.forward file I have this section: if $header_to: contains "sah1" then deliver sah1 You would need a section for each user: # Exim filter if error_message then finish endif logfile $home/eximfilter.log if $header_to: contains "pedro" then deliver pedro elif $header_to: contains "luiz" then deliver luiz endif If you are not using exim, you can add something to your .fetchmailrc, but I am not sure what. In my case I do not need to run fetchmail as root, just as my normal self. -- Phillip Deackes Debian Linux (Potato)
