fetchmailrc snippet:

poll pop.efn.org with proto IMAP port 143 interval 20
        user 'knghtbrd' there with password 'yaright' is 'knghtbrd' here
        options fetchall


efn does not (or did not - I haven't checked recently) support imaps, in
which case you add ssl to options and change port to 993.
