I have tried to setup fetchMail according to this url
http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/networking/fetchmail.html.
It works, but how can I make a corn job of it?
Or are there better ways to use fetchmail?

Personally, I use Webmin (
http://webmin.com/) to manage my server. It creates cron jobs very easily using a web page and it's easy to go back and turn them off and on and such.

*/5 * * * * "/usr/bin/fetchmail"
This would execute fetchmail command every 5 minutes.
I was recommended to use fetchmail even by Scalix
