Use the following fetchmail configuration as a template. Replace all USERNAME with your unix user account name, all PASSWORD with the password for that IMAP account, all IMAPUSER with the IMAP username, all MAILHOST with the IMAP serverhostname and finally all MBOXPATH your mbox (absolute) filenames.
Thanks, but see below.

I couldn't get it to work with exchange. I'm told Microsoft is holding up IMAP requests. I did get it to work with cableone. The relevant account is a thin wrapper on gmail. I have the mail I want, sort of. I had to hit forward rather a lot. So all my messages are wrapped in forwarding boilerplate. Is there a convenient way I can unwrap them?
