Here's my .fetchmailrc <sans passwords !!)

# Configuration created Sun Dec 24 13:31:34 2000 by fetchmailconf
set postmaster "jon"
set bouncemail
set properties ""
poll pop.syd.fl.net.au
        proto pop3
        user jon
        pass "xxxx"
        is jon
        flush
        fetchall
        warnings 3600 antispam 571 550 501 554
        user jill
        pass "xxxx"
        is jill
        flush
        fetchall
