Fetchpop is a better client than fetchpop because:
1) It does not show the password on the commandline, making it visible
for everybody on your system
2) has an automatic interface to procmail ("-p")
3) can save the name of the remote host and an _encrypted_ password in
a configuration file (I suspect that the code is breakable, but it
increases the barrier to get to your password. Besides, the file
should obviously be unreadable by others)
4) It works fine. I lost some mail with popclient, but never done so
with fetchpop
