I upgraded to a new fetchmail, and now I can't fetch email
from my server, same .fetchmailrc

On my new fetchmail (version 6.2.2), it looks like
it sends some additional commands, in this order after receiving the OK:
CAPA
STLS
CAPA
and then
USER
PASS
which then fails at this point.


You may need to include the directive:

        sslproto ""

in your configuration. I needed this after upgrading to 6.2.2. It seemd if
STLS is advertiesed fetchmail will attempt to use it. If the remote end
isn't configured to use it even though it advertises it fetchmails
authetication will fail at that point.
