Hello from Japan and thank you for any advice you're able to
provide. I think this is a simple question though I was unable to
find an answer in the fetchmail archives. I hope I'm not imposing to
ask it here.
I've got a pair of redhat systems (a desktop and a laptop) that
I'm trying to setup for e-mail. I've had a lot of problems with the
easier, nice GUI stuff like kmail so I'm trying to get down to the
basics and do everything from the console. I'd like to pop my mail
off my Japanese ISP with POP3 using fetchmail. So far I've used the
super-nice fetchmailconf utility and I think that everything is in
order but I get the following log message when I connect and give it a
shot:
etchmail: 5.7.4 querying mail.host.or.jp (protocol auto) at Sun 03 Jun 2001

Done.
So it looks like everything up to the actual download of the
mail is going ok. Any ideas why things fail at that point? My
apologies for posting such a simple question but I'd really appreciate
it if someone can set me in the right direction. Thanks again.
