That worked for one provider, but not for gmail. I had to go with...
poll ########### protocol pop3:
username "############" password "<password>" is "########" here
ssl
fetchall
mda "/usr/bin/procmail -m ~/.mailfilter/.procmailrc":
poll pop.gmail.com protocol pop3:
username "##########" password "<password>" is "########" here
ssl
fetchall
mda "/usr/bin/procmail -m ~/.mailfilter/.procmailrc":
That works for both. I have a couple of other providers to set up.
Question... is there a way to declare "ssl" and "fetchall" as default
global settings that apply to all providers in ~/.fetchmailrc

I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
