FYI (actually, for everyone's information): I've explicitly not used  
the word "fetch" when referring to remote account access, because  
"fetch"/"fetchmail" implies that the messages are somehow imported  
into the master account, which is not what we do.

Remote accounts more accurately describes the process of accessing  
these external accounts directly.  Although given the subject of this  
email, maybe this isnt being perfectly described either.
