I provide You with example from my ~root/.fetchmailrc: ..... set daemon 600 #run in daemon mode and check mail every 10 minutes poll relay1.provider.domain with proto IMAP user '<usernam>' there with password '<passwd>' is 'user@some.domain' here In second line we set to poll mail from relay1.provider.domain by IMAP.
