getting my pop email when i log in to console

[NClinux]

Hi, I am using Redhat 7.2, and connect to the internet via cable through network card, my cable ISP has a pop email account that I use, and I want to configure linux to recieve mail from that account when I log in. my hostname is currently set to localhost, and resolves itself to the ip allocated by my isp, so instead of linux trying to grab mail from 'localhost' how can i make it check the pop3 account so i can view mail using the 'mail' command? without going into X.
hope i am making sense :), thanks.

I think you should use fetchmail. It's a program which downloads all your mails from a given account, all you would have to do is to place the command into one of your start scripts.

Read the man page for further details, I don't remember them now to tell you about them.
