[fetchmail]auth failure?

2001-07-13 13:11:34
        My .fetchmailrc polls two servers; the first one works
fine but the second one seems to have an authentication problem.
As I recall, this last worked when I was running Mandrake 7.2;
since installing more recent versions, I have not been able to
successfully retrieve mail from imap.realbox.com using fetchmail.
        I am running linux 2.4.5 kernel on a RedHat 7.1 system.
Fetchmail 5.8.13-1 runs here, though I have run earlier versions.
I downloaded the i386 rpm from the fetchmail website.
        I would appreciate any helpful suggestions to get
fetchmail working with realbox.com.
        Here is my .fetchmailrc (passwds changed to *):
#!/bin/bash
poll pop.crosswinds.net
# poll 209.208.163.44
proto pop3
user thadn is thad here
password *

# poll mail.win.bright.net --old
# poll mail.airstreamcomm.net
# proto pop3
# user homespun is sally here
# password *

poll imap.myrealbox.com
proto IMAP
user thaddeus is thad here
password *

        And here follows my -v -v output:
