You make it sound so easy......:-) But I think I'll try Mutt first.

I know the guy who wrote the mail how-to recommends using fetchmail as you describe.

Of course I make it sound easy. As I indicated, I have not done it yet myself. :) But the only difficult part would be to make the cron-script right, and even that can not be _that_ difficult... I hope. (something like grep the ouput from ifconfig... or check for the log file my ppp-on creates (and my ip-down removes)) I already have the ~/.fetchmailrc done. The man-page is really good, and gives a couple of nice examples near the end. The only options to fetchmail I need to use are: -k if I don't want the messages to be deleted from the server and -I to check for ppp. Anyways, good luck to you whichever method you use. At least linux offers a lot of different ways to do what you want.
