  That worked for one provider, but not for gmail.  I had to go with...

poll ########### protocol pop3:
     username "############" password "<password>" is "########" here
     ssl
     fetchall
     mda "/usr/bin/procmail -m ~/.mailfilter/.procmailrc":

poll pop.gmail.com protocol pop3:
     username "##########" password "<password>" is "########" here
     ssl
     fetchall
     mda "/usr/bin/procmail -m ~/.mailfilter/.procmailrc":

  That works for both.  I have a couple of other providers to set up.
Question... is there a way to declare "ssl" and "fetchall" as default
global settings that apply to all providers in ~/.fetchmailrc
