I installed Debian etch on my laptop and I want to configure fetchmail
to get my mails from gmail. In order to run fetchmail at startup, I did
1. Installed sysv-rc-conf and toggle fetchmail in it as root
2. edit /etc/default/fetchmail, to make it as daemon
3. edit $HOME/.fetchmailrc

defaults
mda "/usr/bin/procmail -d %T"

set logfile "/home/jerry/.log/fetchmail.log"
