Re: [fetchmail] cannot get mail via fetchmail

From: Sam Rosenfeld <sam(_at_)wdn(_dot_)com>

Fetchmail does not get my mail.  I run fetchmail as follows:

fetchmail -d 180

with .fetchmailrc as follows:

poll mail.wdn.com with proto IMAP:
user 'username' with password 'my password'

<---SNIP--->
I am using Linux2.2.20 Debian3.0, Fetchmail3.4;  5+ gig unused HD storage,
197Meg ram, and dial-up ISP (with very little knowledge of Linux).

Ok, Fetchmail 3.4 isn't just old, it's sodding ancient. Try something a little more current (like 6.2.x).

Then, if it still doesn't work, try posting whatever errors you find in /var/log/mail*.


 Please DO NOT send me ANY email directly unless it's a privacy issue.
