Sunil Shetye:
Could you report the complete transaction when it gives authentication
error?
Here it is: as the time stamp shows, it fails instantaneously,
adding a
sslproto ""
in my .fetchmailrc prevents the STLS command going out (or maybe
the USER without the argument, don't know what actually fixes this):
Failure case:
