This article shows how you can collect e-mails from your accounts in the web to your local computer. It has been tested with SUSE Linux 10.3 but should work for other configurations as well.
To collect mails from pop accounts, we use fetchmail.
Install fetchmail
To install fetchmail, run:
yast -i fetchmail
Configure fetchmail
To configure it, use the file .fetchmailrc in your home directory. It should look like this:
poll pop.provider.net
user "username@provider.net"
pass "password"
is localuser
mda "/usr/bin/procmail -f fetchmail"
Replace
- localuser with your local user on your Linux box.
- pop.provider.net with your provider's pop server name.
- username@provider.net with your mail address
- password with your password at the provider
