Hi all, Yesterday my fetchmail+exim setup to retrieve mail from my pop3 server was workign without a hitch. Today I dialup and now fetchmail will not download my mail. I have not changed a thing! Below is the transaction between the two machines. Can anybody shed any light on what is going on? I can use netscape to retrieve the mail without any complaints. But I don't use netscape for mail(except for now when my normal setup is broken, =) ).
