I've read R6 of the faq, but that doesn't seem to apply because I was able
to pop all the mail with Outlook Express. Why would fetchmail suddenly
stop working?
I'm suspecting it has to do with the network that fetchmail was running
on. I moved fetchmail to another computer on another network, and it seems
to be working fine now.
