Hi Dude,
got the same setup. Actually, I solved that using fetchmail and writing my
mail into the local inbox (/var/spool/mail/<user>). Was easyer - so I don't
have to keep mutt up and running.
Here my Fetchmailrc file:
poll smtp.externalmailserver.ch protocol pop3
user blabou, with password "<Password>", is baba here
with mda "formail -s procmail"
My .procmailrc is quite emtpy ;) defaults are doing the Job.
I do start the fetchmail-process with:
"fetchmail -d 3600 --syslog"
And that's it. It will get the mail whenever you want - you just have to
issue the fetchmail command and the running process will check for mail.
Hope I could help you... If any questions - just ask
Cheers
The Smurph
