Make yourself a ~/.fetchmailrc:
set postmaster "your_userID" # Change!
set no bouncemail
set no spambounce
set logfile /home/your_userID/dox/fetchmail.log # Change!
set properties ""
poll mail.your_ISP with proto POP3
user 'your_ISP_userID' there with password '.........' is 'your_userID' here
options fetchall
mda "/usr/bin/procmail -d %T"
Then just "fetchmail -v". You could also comment out that "mda" line
and use ~/.forward instead. I use exim4 and my .forward says:
|/usr/bin/procmail

Good. In .muttrc, comment that variable out. Likely mutt has no
problem finding your system's MTA.
