Although the .fetchmailrc that I'm using for testing is a section from a working one on the old server, I'm getting what appears to be socket errors. I've googled and found lots of similar questions, but no answers. This is what happens: fetchmail --verbose --keep fetchmail: 6.2.5.5 querying mailbox.co.uk (protocol POP3) at Sun 22 Jan 2006 05:48:12 PM GMT: poll started fetchmail: 6.2.5.5 querying mailbox.co.uk (protocol POP3) at Sun 22 Jan 2006 05:48:12 PM GMT: poll completed fetchmail: Query status=2 (SOCKET) fetchmail: normal termination, status 2 This is the .fetchmail rc for that account: set logfile "~/fetchmail.log" poll mailbox.co.uk proto pop3 port 124 via localhost user "pop3.mailbox.co.uk:myaccount" pass "mypass" is anne@xxxxxxxxxxx fetchall Nothing is being written to ~/fetchmail.log. I know there is one test email in that mailbox - I've checked it by webmail. Can anyone help, please? Anne
