This is exactly what I do on my system. I have my .fetchmailrc as the
following:
set logfile /home/paladin/.fetchmail/fetchmail.log
poll example.com localdomains example.com:
with protocol imap
username XXXXXXX password XXXXXXXX
ssl
;
This delivers it to my locally running sendmail, which in turn passes it
on to procmail. In my .procmailrc I have entries like the following:
:0:
* ^(From|Cc|To).*mutt-users.*@mutt.org
* MUTT
Then have my mutt set up to check all the various local folders for
mail.
Hope this helps.
