Shawn,
Please reply and include the contents of your .fetchmailrc file (X out
the password). We'll then be able to help you easier. However, it looks
like the word 'Mail' on line 7 is unrecognized.
Try this out for size:
poll pop.mail.yahoo.com proto pop3
user yahoo_id
pass yahoo_password
is local_user_name here
options nokeep fetchall
The above should poll yahoo and grab all the mail, and deliver it to
"local_user_name" on your Linux box. You can put all the above on one
line, if you wish, you can indent, like I did, you can use ":" or ";" to
separate things, etc. Fetchmail is quite good about deciphering. However,
nowhere did I type 'Mail'. I'm not sure where that would appear, as I've
never used that keyword. Also, I noticed that Fetchmail is case sensitive
in its keywords. (i.e. "poll" works, but "Poll" or "POLL" will not).
Take care!
Steve

Hey gang, I'm having problems trying to run fetchmail
and fetchmailconf and I'd love some help.
I ran fetchmailconf and set it up to work w/ yahoo.com
as the mail server. I put in my user ID and password.
Then if I tried to run fetchmail or to test it, I keep
getting:
fetchmail:/home/shelbydz/.fetchmailrc:7: parse error
at Mail
And now, when I run fetchmailconf, I keep getting:
fetchmail:/home/shelbydz/.fetchmailrc:7: parse error
at Mail
`umask 077; fetchmail --configdump --nosyslog
/usr/tmp/@2318.1' run failure, status 1280
Unknown error while running fetchmail --configdump
can someone help me with this and help get me running?
I downloaded the source code, should I just get the
RPM? Would that install better?
thanks. . .Shawn
