----------------------------------
Below is my fetchmailrc file.  I originally generated most of this with 
"fetchmailconf" (requires X) that makes it easy to generate a
fetchmailrc file, then I tweaked a few options by hand.  My fetchmail
runs as root in daemon mode in order to download mail for several users
on the same system, but you could also run it as an individual user, or
as a cron job.

/root/.fetchmailrc

# Configuration created Fri Nov 23 23:15:24 2001 by fetchmailconf

---------------------------------
Here is my procmailrc configuration to toss my incoming mail into
different mailbox "folders", and filter out some spam.  Note that
because procmail recipes are located within the user's home directory,
each user can have different filtering rules and even edit them
theirself.

----------------------------
For the IMAP server, I'm using the imap-2000 package from Red Hat 7.2. 
That package contains servers for POP2, POP3, POP3s, IMAP and IMAPs. 
Are you still a Slackware user?  I think this package is actually the
UW-IMAP server, although most any server should work.

----------------------------
For the web based mail, I use Squirrel Mail.
http://www.squirrelmail.org
Simply download the tarball and unpack the files into a web accessible
directory.  Read the documentation.  It is fairly quick to setup with
the perl console setup script, but pay careful attention to the IMAP
server quirk handler.
