Hi,
I want do download my pop3 mails on the server so that I can download it
from the server later.
How can this be possible?
I tried to use fetchmail? But the .fetchmailrc file is not in the home
directory.
Can anyone help me on that?

Krishna

well you have to create one yourself. or use fetchmailconf.

Hi,
I used fetchmail. I can download my gmx email on the server and then later I can download it from my windows machine.
This is what happens when I download my Gmx email. It gives out the error but it works.

[rajiv@linux rajiv]$ fetchmail -u krishna_shekhar@gmx.net pop.gmx.net
Enter password for krishna_shekhar@gmx.net@pop.gmx.net:
fetchmail: Unknown login or authentication error on krishna_shekhar@gmx.net@pop.
gmx.net
fetchmail: socket error while fetching from pop.gmx.net
fetchmail: No mail for krishna_shekhar@gmx.net at pop.gmx.net
[rajiv@linux rajiv]$

BUt now the problem is with my softhome email address. It just sits there like this.

rajiv@linux rajiv]$ fetchmail -u krishna_shekhar pop.softhome.net
Enter password for krishna_shekhar@pop.softhome.net:

Thats it!! why is this not downloading!

Krishna
