fetchmail with pop3

[Jaguar]

hi
previously i used kmail as my e-mail client, i had no problem with that.
but now i only want to deal with console, and want to retrieve pop3 mails using fetchmail.
but i don't know how to configure fetchmail with pop3.
assuming my e-mail address is myname@isp.com
pop3 server is mail.isp.com (notice! ``mail'' prefix)
what shall i put in ~/.fetchmailrc?
i tried both

% cat ~/.fetchmailrc
poll mail.isp.com protocol pop3 user "myname" password "mypassword"

and

% cat ~/.fetchmailrc
poll isp.com protocol pop3 user "myname" password "mypassword"

but all of them failed
the command i used to invoke fetchmail is

% fetchmail -akv -m "procmail -d -%T"

(of course, i have another ~/.procmail, which should not relate to the topic)
what is the correct configuration looks like?
any help would much appreciated.

thx in advance,

Run fetchmail -v and post to see exactly where it fails.

i think your config should look something like

poll mail.isp.com proto pop3:
user "user" there has password "passwd" is "localusername" here
mda "procmail -f %F -d %T"

Thx for your response, i've already tried

% cat ~/.fetchmailrc
poll mail.isp.com proto pop3:
user "myname" there has password "mypassword" is "mylocalname" here
mda "procmail -f %F -d %T"

then run fetchmail

% fetchmail -akv

fetchmail: normal termination, status 15

an error is in the red line
authentication will always fail because my e-mail address is myname@isp.com not myname@mail.isp.com
while pop3 server is still mail.isp.com
how can i overcome this problem? i do a lot googling but nowhere exactly mentioned this problem.

Oh, right. Well, I've tried some stuff on my server but it I can't find anything either. I think your best bet is to go to http://developer.berlios.de/mail/?group_id=1824, which is a list of the mailing lists for fetchmail and ask in fetchmail-users.
