====== .fetchmailrc ======
''fetchmail'', as the name indicates, fetches mails from other accounts, forwarding them to the local ''smtpd''.
Username-password-pairs for authentication are best kept inside a [[config:netrc|.netrc]] file, which is supported by ''fetchmail''.

===== Fetching POP3 Accounts =====
  poll pop.provider.tld proto pop3
          user "blubusername"
          user "blub2username"

===== Fetching IMAPS Accounts =====
  poll imap.provider.tld proto imap
          user "blubusername"
          ssl sslfingerprint "<fingerprint>"
          sslcertck
          sslcertpath /etc/ssl/certs/
The //fingerprint// is shown via:
  fetchmail -vv
The IMAP server's certificate has to be saved using the following command:
  openssl s_client -connect imap.provider.tld:995 -showcerts >/etc/ssl/certs/imap.provider.tld.pem
In the resulting file ''imap.provider.tld.pem'' you have to truncate
  * everything before '''BEGIN CERTIFICATE''' and
  * everything after '''END CERTIFICATE'''.
Then the SSL-hash has to be updated using:
  c_rehash /etc/ssl/certs

Verify communication goes via SSL:
  fetchmail -v
