Hey, Thanks. Everything is going smoothly now. Fetchmail runs as a
Daemon, and downloads my popmail to /var/spool/mail/usrname and i have
BBmail check that directory for mail. It then reports mail to me, and i
run netscape which removes the mail from /var/spool/... and bbmail sets
to zero!!
Thanks to everyone for helping me.
