poll mail.provider.com
protocol pop3
username myusername
password MYPASSWD
mda "formail -s procmail"

Thanks, that worked.

Other suggestions I received were:

-----------

try adding _ is USERNAME here _ like this

poll pop.primenet.com proto pop3 user USERNAME pass PASSWORD is USERNAME here

------------


A different solution that will use your mail daemon is to put

smtphost localhost

in your .fetchmailrc defaults

Neither of these helped, but thanks all for the suggestions.
