I tested, and can get my pop e-mail using the following command: fetchmail mail.bellsouth.net --protocol pop3 --username (myusername) I ran this logged on as me, and it goes into my directory - which is what I want it to do. My localusername is different than my name at the ISP. I also had to manually enter my password. What is the command I should have in my fetchmail command string? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
