Fetchmail

[Stephen Durham]

I posted this message to my local LUG as well. I figured the more people
maybe the more help.

Hello,
        Is this a valid use or at least possible use of fetchmail and a
series of other programs.

1. Collect mail from psu accounts, personal pop3 servers, and a program
that collects yahoo email making it a pop3 setup.
2. Distribute it to individual user accounts on server.
4. Allow another linux machine to collect their users (really only one
user) mail from the local mailbox.
3. View mail via Evolution or Thunderbird at home and work; and maybe
remotely with squirrel mail.

The reason I am looking at doing this is that I don't like my mail
accounts at home and work to be different. Which requires me to make
additional filters, to leave messages on server, and doesn't really
allow me any remote access to mails I want to save.

I will figure out how to configure it but pointers to well written
how-to's would be nice. I have been looking at the fetchmail website as
well as some stuff on tldp.org. Mostly I just want to know before I dive
into this that not only will it be possible, but also that it won't be
extremely difficult.
Thanks,
Stephen Durham
