Receiving system mail

Hello,

I have just switched from Ubuntu. I'm very impressed with Arch. It's so fast! But just a quickie.
In ubuntu I installed the postfix package and I was able to receive system mail in thunderbird. I just selected movemail account type in thunderbird.
Is their anyway to do this on Arch? I have been through some wiki's. I installed postfix and fetchmail but i'm just lost. I have thunderbird pop settings set to localhost as thunderbird doesn't appear to have movemail support. Can anyone guide me on a solution? I want to be able to have logwatch installed once I get over this little setup.

Re: Receiving system mail

Unfortunately no.

I ran an nmap scan and discovered I do not have port 110 open. It seems I do not have fetchmail configured properly. I will check my configuration.
