>I believe fetchmail comes with "fetchmailconf", an X app that you can use to
configure stuff. Not that it's that hard. I've fetchmail at home pulling down

poll pop.indigo.ie protocol pop3 username blah password foo is doc here
poll pop.iol.ie protocol pop3 username someoneelse password something is
joeuser here
and so on. Fetchmail rocks.
