Re: [fetchmail] Re: upgraded, and now fails... (error message!)

[sorry for leaving out the most important information!]
[Summary: upgraded to 6.2.2, and now my .fetchmailrc does not work, it fails
with authentication error. The old 5.8.6 still works reliably.]

fetchmail: POP3> STLS
fetchmail: POP3< +OK STLS completed
fetchmail: POP3> CAPA
fetchmail: POP3> USER pop
fetchmail: POP3> PASS
fetchmail: Unknown login or authentication error on 
pop(_at_)hostname(_dot_)(_dot_)(_dot_)(_dot_)
fetchmail: POP3> QUIT

A trawl of the group archive will get the solution. However try the following in the section for the server:

auth password

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