using fetchmail as user2, you can have many mboxes scattered
around the web, and have fetchmail nab them all. (then maybe use
procmail to break them apart into conceptually discrete
'folders'...)
# ~/.fetchmailrc
# suck down [EMAIL PROTECTED] email
defaults
user remoteAccountName is myLocalNameHere
password likeHellYouSay
server mail.servername.net
# get [EMAIL PROTECTED] mail
poll mail.someisp.net protocol pop3
user distant is myLocalNameHere
password ohNoYouDont
fetchall
and make sure you `chmod 600` your ~/.fetchmailrc file! it's
gonna have passwords in there...
