Thank you Shachar, but fetchmail does not write to a mailbox, it relays
received email to the local SMTP mailer (injects smtp into it). If the
source (POP3) is locked then it should be ok.
fetchmail is also MUCH SLOWER than popclient for some reason (my setup
probably, or postfix, or the rainy weather ;( ).
