I also use fetchmail. I don't think a local IMAP server is necessary, because Evo can read mails off a local mail directory.
Just install sendmail or qmail, then instructs fetchmail to deliver to local mail directory via the MDA, which is sendmail/qmail. For example, my .fetchmailrc has the following line for each of my pop account: mda "/usr/bin/procmail -d %s" On Tue, 2002-06-04 at 07:46, Dan Hensley wrote: > The reason I'm asking on this list is that I know there are some who > have mentioned previously doing this.
