I haven't used it for years, but it was *helpful* with my earlier setups. I now just edit ~/.fetchmailrc by hand as there are few thing I do differently. There is rpm packages available for openSUSE that you might try. It should not be a problem as, iiuc, it is just a python script. You probably already have all the requirements present and can run the script as a stand-a-lone from your home directory. > 2) It appears that 'fetchmailconf' has been obsoleted.
