Blame my parents, it's a quite common name here in germany (although more often written as 'Carsten') :-) > If you want to parallelize fetchmail, make four config files, and run > four fetchmails, each with the -f option; or just pass each all the > parameters on the command line, although that's bad because of > passwords. I hoped for a simpler solution (not that yours would be really hard to implement). Why isn't there a 'fetch parallely=yes' feature for fetchmail? Never mind. BTW: Is there any way to hide arguments? > If you want fetchmail to run in the background, use the -d option to > make it a daemon. > > Combine both for parallel daemons.

I hoped for a app that does all that for me :-). Sounds a bit like BYOF (build your own fetchmail).
