Okay, except for the obvious user/password differences, my .fetchmailrc is
identical. (oh, and the polling time)

Only exception here is the LOCKFILE line. I did not have that. I'll add it
and restart everything. Does the setup create .lockmail automagically or did
you have to create it manually? (touch, etc)

Sure does, thanks for the reply! I did have something strange going on this
morning though - I shutdown last night, restarted this morning, and all the
msgs in Kmail were doubled/repeated. When I clicked on the first of each
doubled message, it would then show no body, and no subject. The 2nd msg of
each doubled message was the "true" message. Could that be because I didn't
have a lockfile in place?
Thanks much again! :-)
