From: Dieter Demerre Maybe I'm misconfigured, but apparently the
.fetchmailrc file, when containing a password being composed only by digits
Running fetchmail release 5.3.0+POP2+NLS
with following .fetchmailrc (slightly adapted)
set daemon 600 poll machine.in.our.subnet protocol IMAP username
VP/yv914234/stefan.vertommen with password 44444444 is wbogaert here;
Will return following error:
fetchmail:/home/users/antonio/wbogaert/.fetchmailrc:5: parse error at
44444444
Ok, first, upgrade. You're way behind (just received notification of 5.8.2)
on the releases.
Secondly, try putting quotes around the password - "44444444".
