[fetchmail-users] Fetchmail/Multiple Local Users/Multiple Email Accounts

[Lovell M. <lov...@gm...>]

Can anyone tell me how I can use fetchmail and procmail to be able to  
download mail from two separate accounts to two separate local accounts?

I already have a local account (user1) that is downloading mail from  
my gmail account. Now I am trying to setup another account (user2) to  
be able to download my work email (so I can keep both account emails  
separate).

When I attempt this I get the following error when trying to run  
fetchmail as user2:
===============
[user2@linux ~]$ fetchmail -c
fetchmail: can't check mail while another fetchmail to same host is  
running.
===============

I assume I am getting this error because the fetchmail daemon is  
already running on user1.

Can anyone offer an help?

Detailed Example:

User1 on my local machine is running the fetchmail daemon downloading  
male to my User1 mail directory
I have just created User2 on my local machine and I have  
configured .procmailrc and .fetchmailrc to work with my work account  
and I want to try and start another fetchmail daemon using the user2  
account so that my work mail will download to my user2 mail directory.
