I'm not sure I set up fetchmail correctly.
When I run fetchmail this is what I get:
fetchmail: 6.2.5 querying mail.firston.com (protocol POP3) at Mon 11 Apr 2005

Done.
It looks like it's working and receiving my test email, but when I go to pine
my inbox is empty. Do I need to point my pine's inbox to a particular folder?
Everything I've read while I was googling seemed to indicate that my pine
inbox should point to /var/spool/mail/jared. Is this correct? When I look
in /var/spool/mail/jared, there is a file there but it's empty. Any help
would be appreciated. thanks,
JB
