I learned that you can specify multiple users per sever in .fetchmailrc
in fetchmail's manpage:
[begin]
It's possible to specify more than one user per server (this is only
likely to be useful when running fetchmail in daemon mode as root).
The `user' keyword leads off a user description, and every user speci-
fication in a multi-user entry must include it. Here's an example:
poll pop.provider.net proto pop3 port 3111
user "jsmith" with pass "secret1" is "smith" here
user jones with pass "secret2" is "jjones" here keep
[end]
Does this mean that polling multiple accounts from the same server will
make only a single connection and is therefore roughly no more expensive
than forwarding all the same mail to a single account?
In particular, if you have "ssl" for all users, will a single SSL
session be established?
