Hello: The following occurs and I would like to confirm with the experts:

fetchmail: IMAP< +OK QPOP (version 3.0) at nexus6.source.net starting.

fetchmail: socket error while fetching from mail.source.net
fetchmail: Query status=2 (SOCKET)
fetchmail: normal termination, status 2
Done.
My take on this, is that all is well, except the socket thing. I
double-checked to make sure I entered username and password, correctly.
Anyone
seen this before? A really green linux baby, Tom
That's kind of entertaining. You told fetchmail to speak IMAP to a POP3
server.
I suppose it was inevitable this would happen someday... :-)

Hi, Eric: Made your day, eh? And worse, I ran the probe, which congratulated
me on connecting an IMAP server! And, promptly continued to configure POP3.
Well, in my defense, I had this kmail thing, which reports POP and port 25 as
the setup. When I click, it gets the mail. So, who's to know? Anyway, I
shall continue on, and hope I don't "make your day" with similar faux pas. Tom
