Shouldn't be a headache, and once it's setup, you likely won't have to
ever touch it again.
my anonymized .procmailrc is attached. It's configured to use
bogofilter as a spam filter... other procmailrc examples can be found on
the web/procmail homepage etc...
Use evo to create a maildir account, then set the .procmailrc parameter
MAILDIR=/path/to/the/maildir-folder.
sample of my .fetchmailrc pasted below... other examples can be found on
the web/fetchmail homepage etc...
I am rthompso on this box.
I think ( it's been a while since I set this up )
set daemon
is needed for fetchmail to run in daemon mode (120 = fetch every 2
minutes)
for the user-acco...@isp.com account, emails are downloaded BUT left on
the server ( note the 'keep' option ) ( I want to access these emails
from this box, but I want to ultimately pull them from the server and
store them on a different box ).
for the gmail account, the emails are pulled down to this account and
'removed' from the server ( 'removed' being a misnomer since gmail
actually keeps everything forever -- Google's privacy policy says
deleted e-mail messages "may remain in our offline backup systems" in
perpetuity. It does not guarantee that backups are ever deleted.)
if you have an account where you have the 'keep' option set, setup
an idfile.
