To collect mails from pop accounts, we use fetchmail. To configure it, use the file .fetchmailrc in your home directory. It should look like this:

poll pop.provider.net
        user "username@provider.net"
        pass "password"
        is localuser
        mda "/usr/bin/procmail -f fetchmail"

Replace

  • localuser with your local user on your Linux box.
  • pop.provider.net with your provider's pop server name.
  • username@provider.net with your mail address
  • password with your password at the provider
