Here's a good ~/.fetchmailrc
<bof>
set logfile "/home/jeff/.fetch/fetchlog"
set postmaster "root"
set bouncemail
set daemon 600
set properties ""

poll <mailservername> with proto IMAP   # or POP3
        user jcoppock there with password <mypassword> is jeff here
        options flush stripcr warnings 3600
mda 'maildrop'
        antispam 571 550 501 554
<eof>

I've ever used Exim, so you may need to replace Maildrop with Exim, or
Procmail if you plan to use that.
