Thanks for the quick reply, but I guess I still need a push in the right
direction.
Here's the full situation that I should have described originally.
<verbose>
Say I have two email accounts for Joe Schmo:
joeschmo@somedomain.com Running on XO Comm. web hosting svc and
checked using Outlook Express configured to
leave messages on server, also on Joe's
laptop configured the same way.
jschmo@palm.net Running on Palm PDA.
Outlook Express maintains the inboxes fine on both Joe's office machine
and his laptop, but now he also wants to receive the email in the same
fashion on his Palm.
</verbose>
The idea is to use fetchmail on my FreeBSD box from here to suck in his
inbox from somedomain.com and shoot it out to his palm.net account.
So my .fetchmailrc would be as follows:
$ cat ~/.fetchmailrc
poll somedomain.com protocol pop3 keep:
envelope Received
user joeschmo is jschmo here
Is this close? Where do I tell it to shoot the entire message list to
jschmo@palm.net?
Thanks for your time.
