No. Fetchmail gets the mail from the ISP. At that point, you can read it with the Linux mail program. However, e-mail clients, such as Mozilla, Outlook etc., require a pop or imap server, to get the mail from the Linux system.
So the should I leave the fetchmail server in place and add another POP server (recommendation) or will I bill able to run the POP server on the same server as fetch mail?
Thanks for sticking with me. Sometime it's tough to get a grasp of email solutions.
This setup uses fetchmail, postfix, amavis, spamassassin, antivir and cyrus.
1. fetchmail fetches mails and sends them to postfix 2. postfix uses a contentfilter to convey the mail to amavisd-new 3. amavisd-new uses spamassassin and a virusscanner to check the mails 4. when amavis/spamassassin/virusscan checked the mail, amavis sends it back to postfix 5. postfix delivers the checked mail then to cyrus imapd to finally store the mail 6. Cyrus Imapd provides the services pop3 and/or imap to retrieve/view the mails with a mail user agent (MUA) like Outlook, Thunderbird etc. Imap is prefered, it offers more features.
That is the "normal" process to fetch mails with fetchmail -> Postfix-> Amavis -> Cyrus. Of course, this setup is only one among many other possible solutions.

WOW that's a lot to get my head around. If I can do it, I will blow my own mind.
