Hi guys, Is it possible, with multiple mailboxes listed in .fetchmailrc, to have them poll at different intervals to each other? I want to poll the internal server at work every minute, but at the same time poll my two external accounts only every 10 minutes. Can do? Thanks Hans

Don't know.

If you split your .fetchmailrc into different files, you can do what you want with cron. HTH /Jon -- YMMV

Doesn't look like it is.

If you split your .fetchmailrc into different files, you can do what you want with cron.
You might even be able to use a single .fetchmailrc file, but use the "skip" keyword on the external account entries, then call fetchmail from cron with explicit mention of the external accounts in the cron command line. Jim
