[plug] fetchmail options

[smclevie]

Hi.

Q.  How does fetchmail know where to send the mail??  Does it go to a 
$SPOOLFILE??  Does it go to the $MAIL location?
Does the mail go to one location then get divided into mailboxes??

As you can see from my .fetchmailrc config file, there is no explicit 
reference to any mailbox...

Does it mean Fetchmail will run without mailboxes set up??

                 user 'xxx' there with password 'xxx' is 'root' here

                 with proto POP3
                 user 'xxx' there with password 'xxx' is 'root' here

                 with proto POP3
                 user 'xxx' there with password 'xxx' is 'steve' here 
options fetchall forcecr

                 with proto POP3
                 user 'xxx' there with password 'xxx' is 'sue' here options 
fetchall forcecr
# smtphost  debian
;

If there is an (one) environmental variable called $MAIL and $SPOOLFILE 
then I assume various programs (Fetchmail, Mutt etc.) default to the 
settings in these variables..??
