Have you at least made an attempt to _read_ the fetchmail documentation? There's also a Fetchmail mailing list fetchmail-friends@ccil.org that's also right on the webpage too. Not to be rude but I'd be more inclined to help answer a question like: "I read the fetchmail docs and I don't understand the following paragraph: ...blah blah blah..." There's also a Fetchmail FAQ that covers all this.
