My first day with fetchmail produced mail I could read in pine. My second
day the downloaded mail disappeared.

I believe the fetchmail went ok:
"reading message x or y (z bytes). . .flushed"

My fetchmail config file has:
poll <my pop server> proto POP3  
  user <myusername> password "<mypassword>" is brownh here

When I run pine, "INBOX" is empty except for some messages I left in it from
the day before.

brownh is my ISP account name, but I'm running as root here. However, I try
  # su brownh
  shell-init: could not get current directory:

I have a brownh user, in brownh group, a /home/brownh directory. Under
root is a /root/mail directory with rw permission for user, but no Inbox.
