Hi,
How can I change where fetchmail puts my mail from /var/mail/username to
/home/d.dalton/inbox
I want all my mail to be with my personal data on a separate partition, so
I can just back the one partition up and get everything.
Thanks,

Hi,
IIRC, fetchmail doesn't deliver your mail, it just downloads it. It then
uses your local delivery agent to deliver it. So you'll have to configure
whatever it is (exim, sendmail, postfix, qmail, etc) to put it somewhere
else.
Geoff.

Oh ok, so I guess its procmail then.
Is that what you mean?
If so do you know how I can change the maildir location?
Thanks for your help,
