Use syntax like the following in your fetchmailrc. poll <isp.com> with protocol pop3 timeout 60: user <username1> there has password <password1> is <localuser1> here user <username2> there has password <password2> is <localuser2> here Read the fetchmail man page for more details. -- Brian --------------------------------------------------------------------- Mechanical Engineering [EMAIL PROTECTED] Purdue University http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~servis ---------------------------------------------------------------------
