You can configure fetchmail to grab email from more than one server - I'm doing that now at home. I have a workstation VM that runs fetchmail - one to pull mail from my mailserver and the other from Road Runner - one config file, 2 different remote email accounts - 1 local user account...

Actually I'm using POP3, but just looking for improvements in speed. Plus, fetchm,ail doesn't allow fetch more than one account at a time, and it's kind slow in the secure handshaking. There is another package should I "explore" using it to improve speed?
Thanks for your answer

Hi folks
This question is about fetchmail running on my Centos 5.3 box. I need to fetch my email from different accounts living on remote servers and drop it on my local mailbox. The question is wich way is faster for fetchmail... using POP3 or IMAP?
Thanks David
Not sure I could say which is faster, but POP3 is more simple and is intended for what you are doing. IMAP is meant to have all messages stored on the server and thus supports folders and other more advanced features.
Based on what you are trying to accomplish, I would use POP3. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
