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 -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
