poll bgl.vsnl.net.in with proto POP3
user "xxx" there with password "yyy" is "zzz" here
If you have used the above format in .fetchmailrc then all the mails
downloaded will end up in login zzz on your machine(/var/spool/mail/zzz
to be precise). sendmail should be configured and running for this to
work. Login as zzz and use pine/mutt/kmail to check the mail.
AFAIK netscape does not pick up mails from /var/spool/mail/user If you
want to use Netscape as your mail client then you will have to pop the
mail from your own box. Install the pop3 and imap daemons from the
RH6.1CD
