I am having troubles getting the global options set idfile and set logfile to
work. I am using fetchmail 5.9.0 on FreeBSD 4.3.All of these options are at the
top of my .fetchmailrc file. When I have the following:
set idfile pop3ids
the uidl options works good except for the fact that it places this file in the
current directory.
If I use:
set idfile ~/pop3ids
-or-
set idfile $HOME/pop3ids
This does not work at all and redownloads the messages that have already been
recieved (all of my polls have uidl as a server option).
At the same time, I was trying to set up the logfile and with the following in
my .fetchmailrc, no logging is done. Is there something I have to add to turn
the logging on?
All help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
