9 Actually, scratch all that. Fetchmail lost some mails. That's really
10 bad. So I ditched it and have set up getmail instead. Seems to be
11 working so far. And it's much easier to configure. Has an option to
12 leave mail on server so many days after collecting it, which will help
13 if it decides to lose mails as well.

15 No daemon mode, so need to run it as a cron job.
