Here is one set up to do it.
.netrc #must be readable by owner only
#get mail from ISP by ftp
machine is1.hk.super.net
login jbeukema password xxxxxxxx
#
#macro init runs automatically after login
macdef init
cd /var/spool/mail
get jbeukema johnmail
delete jbeukema
quit
#alternate anomyonous ftp
login ftp jbeukema@hk.super.net
getmail # this shell initiates the ftp call
#!/bin/sh
#pickup mail from hk.super.net
cd ~john
ftp is1.hk.super.net > /dev/null
if [ -e johnmail ]
then
cat johnmail >> /var/mail/john
rm johnmail
echo "You have new mail (:-)"
else
echo "No mail (:-("
fi
man ftp
Hope this helps.
