I receive email on my desktop from 3 pop3 servers
(for example, pop.gmail.com).
I usually read it from there on my laptop.

I'm running Fedora-5 with KDE, and use kmail for email.

I tried running the Tools=>Anti-Spam Wizard in kmail
but found this was fairly disastrous,
as it runs spamc on each email it fetches,
which meant I had to wait several minutes after starting kmai
before I could read any mail.

So I started running fetchmail as a cron job from each mail server.
This seems to work fine.
What puzzles me is that I never saw this suggested anywhere.
Am I missing some obvious alternative?
