I just got all this going so it is fresh in my mind. Install exim for an mta Install procmail Install fetchmail Install mutt fetchmail gets mail, hands it to exim. exim checks for a ~/.procmailrc file and if it exists, hands mail to procmail procmail sorts mail into mboxs in ~/Mail It was painless and quick to set up. robin
