Drat. I was hoping I could have a common-to-all-shells approach.
I want rather the reverse: I only want to start and stop fetchmail
when I start and stop my first local session. I SPOP3 my ISP's mail
cluster for inbound, as I don't have an advertised mail server. I
only want to automatically retrieve mail when I'm at my desk. I can
retrieve mail by other means when I'm elsewhere.
