First off it may be easier if you populate a file called .fetchmailrc this will allow you get around the password issue (if you want to)
in .fetchmailrc put a line as follows poll mailserver.domain.com with proto auto user username there with password password is user here This will do the following poll mailserver.domain.com - will poll the named server for mail with proto auto - Will auto select the correct protocol user username password password - Self explanatory really, but if password is your pasword then you may need to "" it is user here - Will deliver to the local user on the machine Hope this helps On Thu, 2002-06-20 at 19:04, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hi people, > > Again a question about fetchmail.
