13 That worked for one provider, but not for gmail. I had to go with...
14
15 poll ########### protocol pop3:
16 username "############" password "<password>" is "########" here
17 ssl
18 fetchall
19 mda "/usr/bin/procmail -m ~/.mailfilter/.procmailrc":
20
21 poll pop.gmail.com protocol pop3:
22 username "##########" password "<password>" is "########" here
23 ssl
24 fetchall
25 mda "/usr/bin/procmail -m ~/.mailfilter/.procmailrc":
26
27 That works for both. I have a couple of other providers to set up.
28 Question... is there a way to declare "ssl" and "fetchall" as default
29 global settings that apply to all providers in ~/.fetchmailrc
