I don't see and option (for POP3) to set that. You are correct that this is not yours to configure, it is a pop daemon configuration option. But for that very reason I'm suspicious: how do you know that fetchmail is "looking in your home directory?" What do you see in fetchmail's log file that suggests this? -- Jeff Jeff Abrahamson <http://www.purple.com/jeff/> GPG fingerprint: 1A1A BA95 D082 A558 A276 63C6 16BF 8C4C 0D1D AE4B Attachment:
