Hi,

I've been bugging with this for a while, and still can't get it straight:
how do I get
mutt to receive mail directly to it? refreshing or checking the mailbox off
of my ISP's mail server every few minutes (5-10). I have installed mutt and
can send and receive mail while on the same box and messaging the users on
the same box, but can't get my remote mail server's responses.

I've tried to use fetchmail, and it does work, just doesn't stick it into
the mutt folder, wherever it is; I have not tried using procmail, yet, as I
can't get the basic mail system to function.

Anyone, if you can clarify the steps of getting mutt to receive mail off of,
let's say, mai.me.com (a pretend ISP's mail server), I will appreciate it a
great deal.

Thank you in advance.
