The -l option specifies the service of syslog to use. So it should be -lmail
or -llocal7 or -ldaemon not -lsyslog since syslog is not a service of syslog
per se.

You may also need -x to specify the level of detail in the log.

You will also need to check where your syslog is putting the stuff it logs
for each service.

The fields "Remote Hist, "User Name", and "Password" etc are the set up for
the POP3 fetching. Only the very latest source code has the fetch interval
option in here. In your version of the code it is the networking interval
from the site wide config.
