This is incredibly > frustrating and I would appreciate any enlightenment you have to offer. I used to have a web page explaining how to use fetchmail with mutt, but changed it to use getmail. Getmail seems to be preferred by people more knowledgeable than myself, and I've found that it seems to work better. So, I'll send you to the page anyway, in case you feel like making the change. http://home.nyc.rr.com/computertaijutsu/mutt.html However, to answer your immediate questions--it'll work despite the error messages but you have to add to your .fetchmailrc mda "/usr/local/bin/procmail -d %T" I've found you usually have to add that to each address which is being checked. That is if you have [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] each fetchmail entry should have the mda entry afterwards. Also, you might also need a .forward file in your home directory. That will just say (including the double quotes) "|/usr/local/bin/procmail" With Fetchmail, you will get those errors, though it will deliver the mail, with Getmail you won't.
