Hello,
I'm using fetchmail to retrieve my mails from several accounts, but there is
one that always fails.
Below is a transcript of the fetchmail session:
~ %:> fetchmail -v -U -k -p POP3 -u me(_at_)mailhost(_dot_)tld mail.mailhost.tld
Enter password for me(_at_)mailhost(_dot_)tld@mail.mailhost.tld:

I tried setting this account directly in mutt but it stops retrieving messages
after 3 messages.
If I do the same by telnet directly, it works like a charm.

Is there a special way to retrieve this mailbox?
