No. Mutt by default reads from /var/spool/mail/user file.
Which entry do I need to make in whose

In mutt you can use :
set folder=~/mail
in muttrc to tell mutt to use ~/mail as the mailbox dir.

What I do is. I have put the following in ip-up.local script.
/usr/bin/fetchmail -a -v -N -f /etc/fetchmailrc -L /var/log/fetchmail.log
and then jsut open a new Eterm and do
tail -f /var/log/fetchmail.log
[ but before that create the fetchmail.log file in /var/log using
touch fetchmail.log ]
Bye.
