Re: [fetchmail]Fetchmail and CAPA bug

Or at least documented in the man page;). There is no CAPA ref at all in
it.

well, it's discussable if it should be in man page or not. Anyway, it's
always useful to look into the FAQ before asking something.

ok, on to your problem:

with

poll pop.wanadoo.fr proto pop3
    user "Nicolas.Mailhot" there has password "*****"

I get

[jh(_at_)lx jh]$ fetchmail -v
fetchmail: 6.2.5 querying pop.wanadoo.fr (protocol POP3) at Sun, 04 Apr 2004
18:13:02 +0200 (CEST): poll started
fetchmail: POP3< +OK connected to pop3 on 0801
fetchmail: POP3> CAPA
fetchmail: POP3< -ERR unknown command
fetchmail: unknown command
fetchmail: Repoll immediately on 
Nicolas(_dot_)Mailhot(_at_)pop(_dot_)wanadoo(_dot_)fr
fetchmail: POP3< +OK connected to pop3 on 0903
fetchmail: POP3> USER Nicolas.Mailhot
fetchmail: POP3< +OK name is a valid mailbox
[...]

and with

poll pop.wanadoo.fr proto pop3 auth password
    user "Nicolas.Mailhot" there has password "*****"

I get

[jh(_at_)lx jh]$ fetchmail -v
fetchmail: 6.2.5 querying pop.wanadoo.fr (protocol POP3) at Sun, 04 Apr 2004
18:13:48 +0200 (CEST): poll started
fetchmail: POP3< +OK connected to pop3 proxy on mwinf0103
fetchmail: POP3> USER Nicolas.Mailhot
fetchmail: POP3< +OK name is a valid mailbox
[...]

as you can see, repoll works and disabling CAPA works.
I don't know where your problem is, but maybe you should just try to get the
source and compile it for your self (or build your own RPM out of it, like I
did). If it does not help, you should post your full fetchmailrc, how you
start fetchmail and the relevant output of `fetchmail -v`.
