Using the fetchmail and procmail executables for cygwin at
http://www.dd.iij4u.or.jp/~madokam/, I was able to download mail
from a mail server and filter them into mail folders for reading
with mutt on a Windows 98 machine.
I seemed to be having problems with mailbox corruption with the
sample fetchmailrc at the site above, so I used
mda "/usr/bin/procmail -f %F -m /home/lang/.procmailrc -d %T"
# mda "/usr/bin/procmail -d %T" # pass message to the local MDA
# (Procmail in this case.)
The -f flag to rewrite the ^From line, and the -m one to quiet the
"not able to write /var/spool/mail/lang" message.
But before doing this, I had been moving the messages around my
mail folders with procmail so, perhaps the sample fetchmailrc does
work.
