   If you are using fetchmail, then what do to you pass the
   incoming mail too when it fetches them?  An mda has to be
   specified from my experience (procmail, maildrop, etc).  It
   would likely be a lot easier to install procmail or maildrop
   and have fetchmail deliver to this mda and let the mda filter
   to mailboxes.  Promail has tons of recipes (filters) support
   and maildrop filtering isn't hard to figure out, I did.  :-)
   
   So, all you'd have to do is press "G" to start fetchmail and
   voila!  All you incoming mail automagically goes to the right
   mailbox.
