After some fiddling around with fetchmail, the following is meant as note to self and for those who may find it useful...

Fetchmail is a small but powerful tool that can be used (in many ways) to retrieve email from a remote server using pop3, IMAP, and other popular protocols. It can reroute the fetched mail to a local account, system or simply pass it through to another SMTP service.

Just finished transferring this domain after having multiple issues/outages with my (ex)hosting provider.

Won't go into much detail.. but if you're ever thinking of getting a hosting account at UWHOST.net, I'd suggest to give it a good long second thought! A short review: support 1, response time 1, value for your money 3

... I'll just leave it at that.

Just a little tip that might make your Teaming experience all more so pleasant. If you've noticed your browser lagging behind your clicks or simply being dead slow in opening a new page... Grab yourself a copy of one of the latest browsers.

There have been many optimizations in the way Java code is being handled by the new generation browsers (Firefox 3.5, IE 8.0, Opera 10, etc). This results in a general speed boost when browsing resource hungry sites (e.g. LinkedIn, Hyves, you name it...).

Although FireFox 3.5 is still in beta, it will handle most (if not all) actions gracefully. To me the speed increse feels greater than when using IE 8.0.

NOTE: Big chance your custom plugins working on 3.0 won't all run on 3.5 (just yet). You might want to test your results on a lesser important workstation or vm.
