1) Create a file ~/.fetchmailrc with the following contents:
poll mail.abc.tld
protocol pop3
user user
pass password_for_abc.tld_account
mda "formail -s procmail"
keep;
poll mail.xyz.tld
protocol pop3
user user
pass password_for_xyz.tld_account
mda "formail -s procmail"
keep;
2) Create a file ~/inbox :
> echo -n > ~/inbox
3) Create a ~/.procmailrc with the followin contents:
PATH=$HOME/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail
DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/Inbox
LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/.procmail.log
:0:
* [EMAIL PROTECTED]
* [EMAIL PROTECTED]
* [EMAIL PROTECTED]
xyz/inbox
:0:
* [EMAIL PROTECTED]
* [EMAIL PROTECTED]
* [EMAIL PROTECTED]
abc/inbox
4) Test the configuration (you can see the procmail activity in the file
~/Mail/.procmail.log
5) When the thing is working you can remove the "keep" key in the
~/.fetchmailrc file.
6) To understand what is happening read the files under /usr/share/doc/procmail
and /usr/share/doc/fetchmail, and read man fetchmail, man procmail, man
procmailrc and man procmailex .
Good Luck!
