Mutt and Fetchmail

[Nalle]

I'm running Slackware 8.0 with an ADSL connection. Kernel 2.4.5.

Mutt is not able to poll for mail, so you will need something like fetchmail to retrieve the mail for you. Then Mutt is capable of polling the spool and tell you when new mail has arrived.

To do that, I must get fetchmail to leav the mail in the same spool-file that mutt is using.

Now the thing is that I'd think it was best to put the spool from fetchmail in ~/Mail/mailspool, and then configure Mutt to work against the same file.

Anyone thet can help me with som syntax to this one?

Mutt can poll a pop server for mail.

You may want to have postfix and procmail do delivering and filter/sorting for you in addition to those.

Yes, mutt can poll a server for mail, that goes for local spool file an IMAP. But it is not able to poll for pop mail.

Mutt is capable of sending just fine, so I really don't need more than mutt and fetchmail, I think (at least for the functions I need).

That's why all i need is to get fetchmail and mutt to work together.
