fetchmail -a -p POP3 -k -u username serverwith of course the username and server replaced with the real ones. It showed it logging in and retrieving all the mail. What is really worrying me is that the first time I ran it, I stupidly left out the -k and I am fearing that I lost two days' of mail. It was a result of losing my job and getting my mail off a work server and trying it on another, and getting the mail stuck on another server via POP so procmail would filter it for mutt. That server is using sendmail, and I know that things are working, since I was getting mail directly there and procmail was properly filtering it as well. fetchmail got over 400 messages, and when it ended I have no idea what happened to them. I tried the same thing again on this server, with exim, with the same results.
