what's wine for, then? Ken's right; Outlook and fetchmail won't run on the same system, unless you run Outlook inside of an emulator on Linux, or fetchmail within Cygwin. But goodness knows, you're _definitely_ going to want to run Outlook as your mail client. (Note: this is sarcasm. I use Outlook by necessity for my work e-mail account, and am not a fan. Try Thunderbird or another client.)

I have fetchmail setup to download messages from my companies ISP. It is doing that correctly for my test account. However when I use the email client (Outlook in this Case) i cannot download the messages to Outlook.
Am I missing a part here. Do I need to also be using Sendmail or Postfix along with fetchmail in order to allow Outlook to download the messages. Although I am not new to Linux this is my first attempt at something like this so any additional help or ideas would be very helpful. The end result I want is to use SpamAssasin to filter Spam before the User can download it.
You need to set up a local pop or imap (preferred) mail server.
Isn't that was fetchmail does?
I wasn't aware of fetchmail running on a system running Outlook. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
