[SLUG] Fetchmail Help

[Steve Kowalik <skowalik@nospam.ihug.com.au>]

Alex,
	Firstly, Mandrake didn't write fetchmailconf, its a Tcl/Tk written
by ESR (Eric S. Raymond), now unless you want something more complex,
setting up fetchmail is extremly easy.
	In a .fetchmailrc in your home directory, you put:
	"poll pop.isp.com with proto POP3"
	"user 'me' with password 's3cr37' is 'myaccount' here"
	
	Make sure .fetchmailrc has mode 710 or less, fetchmail will
complain if you don't. You can also read man fetchmail for some of the set
modes.
