Hi all,

Anyone know how to specify for fetchmail in .netrc the "folder" to read ?

If tried folder XYZ and it says unknown token folder. Man page says that should work.

I assume the manpage you reference is fetchmail's.

If my reading is correct, the only thing(s) that fetchmail will get from .netrc is the user & password for a host it will access. The rest of the stuff should got into ~/.fetchmailrc.
