Mine does. My .fetchmailrc file has the details for several different mailservices. Fetchmail runs as a background task and wakes up every X seconds, stepping through the .fetchmailrc file one server at a time. I posted an example of how it's set up a few days ago, in this thread. NB: Don't set the interval too short. Service providers may start blocking access for over-use. Or, another problem can be that your fetchmail run might not finish completing before you ask it to do the next run. I set mine for about 9 minute intervals. > I think I occasionally get error messages that fetchmail > has failed to collect mail from one site > because it is still collecting from another site? Sounds about right. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
