It worked.  Something strange about the namespace though in sm the Public
Spam mailbox shows up as #Users/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/Spam.  When I tried to
run fetchmail on #Public/Spam it said it did not exist.  It did work though
on the former and the emails show up as read in sm.

One final question: If I understand the daemon and polling correctly this is
a sleeping background process now and will run every 60 minutes without any
other intervention correct?

Thanks for all your help!!!
