I've gone through a ton of howto's but I'm still not sure if I'm doing
everything correctly.  I installed Mandrake 9.1 (RH wouldn't, it hates
the partition table for some reason) on my laptop.  I decided to use
mutt and fetchmail to snag mail off various pop accounts I have that I
don't use that often.  So here is what I've done so far.  I have made a
simple .fetchmailrc that looks something like this:
set postmaster "gwagley"
set bouncemail
set no spambounce
set properties ""
set daemon 90
defaults forcecr, mda "/usr/bin/procmail"
poll myaccount.com with proto POP3
user 'yourmom' with password 'pass' is 'gwagley' here


And I start fetchmail running when I log in by just typing fetchmail at
a prompt (I don't know if this is the best way).
Here is my .procmailrc:
SHELL:/bin/bash
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin
VERBOSE=off
MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail
DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/IN
LOGFILE=$HOME/.maillog

:0fw
* < 256000
| /usr/bin/spamassassin

:0:
*^Subject.*SPAM
$HOME/Mail/spam

I made sure to set folder and spoolfile in my .muttrc and I also added
the mailboxes.  I get a file not found error when I open up mutt, is
this because I haven't gotten any mail yet or did I set up something
wrong?
