Like everything else in Linux, you have choices. The better choice is getmail.. written in python, fast, easy to set up, secure. Never had a security problem like fetchmail... It just works.
Huh. Never heard of getmail until today. Can anyone else vouch for it? Not that I don't trust you, Gary. :-) Just never heard of it before, thus don't know how good it is. Whereas fetchmail (at least used to be) tried and true, you know. Maybe I'll give it a whirl either way. Does it drop stuff in a typical Mail directory in mbox format like fetchmail? Asking since I use pine when I do remote email over SSH. Preston
