that sounds sort of what I am trying to do. I have about 6 different
addresses because they all relate to different things. I guess my main
goal is to store all those messages centrally in a single database so I
can search for messaages etc. I will still need to send mail out as any
one of those accounts.

The reason I was using fetchmail is that i dont have control of all the
domains. Mail will come to different accounts on several different
servers and i just want to pull my mail into this not everyone that has
accounts on that domain.
