[fetchmail-users] Changing user configuration to mbox, instead of Maildir, format

[Francis G. <fr...@gi...>]

Hi guys,

On my local machine (openSUSE) I've got fetchmail up-and-running pretty well; 
system, POP3 etc mail are sent directly into my mbox.

On a server (Ubuntu, where I don't have root access) it appears that the 
default settings for all mail are Maildir. I really need to have them in mbox 
format; is there any way I change the configuration for this in fetchmail, so 
I can 'force' it to go into a particular mbox, as mbox format.

I've already tried setting DEFAULT in ~/.procmailrc, but it doesn't seem to 
respect that.

Any ideas?

Kind thoughts,
Francis

The configuration of mbox or maildir has nothing to do with 
fetchmail, fetchmail doesn't care about your local setup.
Kind regards

What does fetchmail have to do with the server? Does the server use
procmail at all?
