Hi Cameron, I second everything said so far on this thread, however, on a multi-user system I would implement fetchmail-on-dialup in a slightly different way. Create an /etc/fetchmail-users file with all the users that want to run fetchmail ---8< snip >8--- # users that get mail by fetchmail use

Hi, use fetchmail with the -d option followed by the frequency to check mail ie 600 for 10 minutes and add the line to your .xsession profile (name depends on what window manager you use, mines xdm). A line something like: fetchmail -d 600 & Regards Wayne -Original Message- From: Camero

Hello, Run fetchmail in daemon mode like: fetchmail -d 900 This will check for mail every 15 minutes. Just run mutt to read your mail whenever you want. Andrew On Wed, 9 May 2001, Cameron Matheson wrote: > Hey, > > I've been using mail for the past month (or two), by running 'fetchmail ; >
