Sorry, that should have been maildrop, not mailf. http://freshmeat.net/projects/maildrop/

I agree with Bernard; if you can use IMAP, do. Alternatively,
fetchmail comes with fetchmailconf, which will walk you through
building a ~/.fetcmailrc. Or, look at mine:

set postmaster "keeling"
set no bouncemail
set no spambounce
set logfile /home/keeling/dox/fetchmail.log
set properties ""
poll mail.spots.ab.ca with proto POP3
user 'keeling' there with password '_________' is 'keeling' here
options fetchall
