I have dovecot (with squirrel mail etc.) running without any problems but cannot understand how to get e-mail from a pop server into dovecot. I have fetchmail configured to pick up the mail from the pop3 server but don't understand how to get it from there into my dovecot mbox
Where does fetchmail put the e-mails? Point dovecot there with "mail_location =..." then use your favorite MuA to access the e-mail.
That is the problem, fetchmail just forwards it to port 25 (I think) and I need to work out what to put between fetchmail and dovecot in order to get the mail into the correct folders...
And I am just going around in circles on this at the moment. Any hint would be appreciated!
Thanks,
