What is the proper usage of the ssl or sslproto keyword in fetchmailrc?

poll mail.host.com
      proto imap
      user "correia"
      password "xxxx"

adding just a bare ssl or sslproto keyword to the config results in
parse errors.

fetchmail is sensitive to where you put it. These are "user" options (in
constrast to "server" options), so
they belong _after_ the `user "name"' item, try:

poll mail.host.com proto imap
user "correia" password "secret" ssl
