Just use the name of your server in the mail server settings, and follow the troubleshooting steps in the previous section if something doesn t work. You can find more information about mail clients for Linux in Chapter 21. Configuring Fetchmail Fetchmail is an MRA (Mail Retrieval Agent) that you can use to pull mail from a remote account to your new server. It is configured in the $HOME/.fetchmailrc file, and is very easy to set up. To pull mail to your server, log in as the user that the mail should go, then configure and run it from there. Run Fetchmail as the user for whom the mail is being retrieved. You should never run it as root. If you re doing a complex setup in which you retrieve mail from a single mailbox that needs to be sorted out for multiple users, see the fetchmail man page for information about multidrop mailboxes. A .fetchmailrc file can be as simple as this: poll mailserver.yourisp.example protocol pop3 username foo If you have more than one mail server, you can add it as an additional line. If the server from which you are pulling mail supports IMAP, you can use imap instead of pop3. Other options that you can have are password=your password> and ssl. Storing the password in the file enables you to run Fetchmail without entering a password, and the ssl option tells Fetchmail to use an SSL/TLS connection to the server. Your .fetchmailrc file should not be readable by others, and Fetchmail will generally complain if it is. To set the permissions so that only you can read it, run chmod 0600 $HOME/.fetchmailrc/. Running Fetchmail is as simple as typing $ fetchmail Note Note Cross- Reference
