Re:[SLE] Email beginners question
Hi, But,is it possible to have fetchmail to fetch mail from my pop3 account and then read it on netscape,netscape does not have a feature to read mail from a /var/spool/mail/user mail account does it? If u visit the pref in netscape u will find only pop3 account/Imap/movemail -- Pradeep Sangunni || pradeep@symonds.net || ICQ# 73495162 -- Powered by SuSE Linux 2.2.18
That is what movemail is for. It will read the mail from
/var/spool/mail/user.

MAIL=$HOME/nsmail/inbox You can then use procmail to put it there by putting a line in your .procmailrc ... like this: :0 * inbox You could want to have fetchmail call procmail in your .fetchmailrc like this: mda "/usr/bin/procmail -d %T" Regards, -- Ben Rosenberg mailto:ben@whack.org ----- If two men agree on everything, you can be sure that only one of them is doing the thinking.
