You should change either the username, or the password, or possibly the
hostname (mail.mclink.it), to the correct one for your POP3 mailbox.
If you don't know what the correct account settings are for POP3 access to
your mailbox, talk to your new ISP.
It might even be that POP3 access is disabled to your mailbox. They might
enable it for you, for a fee.
I entered a ticket in their help desk system before anything else, and today
when they
open office I will call. The reasons why I also need as much feedback as
possible
at this level are:
0) Help desks can be much slower than online lists!
1) their control panel does say I'm enabled to pop3
2) it lists pop3 server, smtp server, account name to use and so on. They are
what
I am using now (smtp *is* working with those parameters, for example)
3) I had similar problems with other ISPs in the past, and the solution turned
out to
be the right combination of fetchmail options (like use or not "auth
passwd")
So, above all, I need help from this list to elaborate on 3) above. As far as I
can see,
there is nothing about this in the FAQ. Any further feedback is appreciated.
TIA,
Marco F.
