But in the background the systemd service got enabled with 6.4.33-1 and you need to disable it by hand: $ systemctl --user disable fetchmail.service $ systemctl --user stop fetchmail.service # systemctl --global disable fetchmail The last command needs to run as root.
Going to upload an updated package which no longer enables the systemd service file. Sorry for the inconvenience, Laszlo/GCS
