You might want to show us an example line, copied from your actual .fetchmailrc file, but without the password showing, rather than a retyped example. e.g. poll pop.mail.yahoo.com.au proto pop3 user "ignored_mailbox", with password "secretwords", is "tim" here; I use the glaringly obvious syntax, so it's easy to follow what I've set into mine. I do the same with things like iptables scripts (use the long parameters, not the abbreviations - which I never remember). -- [tim@bigblack ~]$ uname -ipr 2.6.21-1.3228.fc7 i686 i386 Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5. Today, it's FC7. Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
