[fetchmail] @ symbol in username

2002-12-18 03:13:32
Hi List

My ISP uses a POP3 mail server and all the usernames are the exact
same as the email address:
ie my email address is: robert(_at_)idws(_dot_)com and my username is
robert(_at_)idws(_dot_)com

With fetchmail 6 (running on Mandrake 9) I'm battling to download the
mail.
Error: fetchmail: Authorization failure on
robert(_at_)idws(_dot_)com@mail.idws.com

I've tried to another ISP with a different username and it works fine.
My only idea is the @ symbol in the username is causing a problem.

Could anyone give any ideas on what I should do/replace it with?

ta,
