Howdy all. Here is the deal. I am currently doing email in Linux using
Spruce & that is working just fine. I want to migrate to Pygmy. Here is
the rub. Pygmy needs an external program to fetch mail. So I have been
trying to set up fetchmail, but it's not syncronizeing with the servers
where my accounts are at. It's connecting, it's seeing mail is there, but
can not pull it in. I've been to the fetchmail homepage & check the FAQ &
How-To posted there, but they are not helping -- or if the answer is there
I'm not finding it.
I am using Mandrake 7.2. Internet connection works, email works with other
programs. I am trying to pick up mail from 2 different servers. The
timeout was originally 300 seconds, I bumped it down to 30 seconds just to
speed things up but still got the same errors at 300 seconds, which made me
guess that a longer timeout setting was not the solution.
here is my fetchmail config file, with my passwords replaced with the word
"password":
----------------------------------------------------------------
# Configuration created Mon Feb 4 18:51:41 2002 by fetchmailconf
set postmaster "skippi"
set nobouncemail
set properties ""

fetchall warnings 3600

------------------------------------------------------------------
and here is the output of my attempt to run fetchmail:

Any suggestions, clues or ideas?
Can anyone suggest another program which Pygmy can use to retrieve mail?
Thanks much for any help.
