to edit your crontab use:
% crontab -e

An entry that runs every 5 minutes would look something like:

Code:
*/5     *       *       *      *      /usr/local/bin/getmail
See crontab(5)

I did it without errors but it does not work.
If it doesn't work then there is an error somewhere ... Otherwise it would work
It might also help to tell us what exactly you did, so we can locate the error...
