For Demon, put this in your fetchmailrc:-


set daemon 300  # Poll at 5-minute intervals
set postmaster "postmaster"
set syslog
set bouncemail

poll pop3.demon.co.uk protocol POP3 aka mailstore nodns:
    localdomains nodename.demon.co.uk
    user nodename is * password secretpw fetchall


Replace nodename and secretpw with appropriate values, and it should
work. That config will pull down all mail, but map it to the correct
local users, so as long as your MTA is set up right, stuff will land in
the right mailboxes.

Mike.
