Ahh, you need 'fetchmail', which gets email from your POP serer, and then sends it to you local mail agent (sendmail most likely), which will then process it correctly via your procmail setup on your laptop. I'm doing that now (although my mailhost is a SUN and not a laptop), and it works great. I'm doing it for security reason (the only incoming sendmail box allowed is our firewall), and having all our email standardized with POP has been a great maintenance boon. Nate
