<duh> Fetchmail issues.
FYI: I'm used to linux, setting up mail for Mac Lion, to which I am
very much a noobie.
I'm using fetchmail to get gmail messages.

I have a directory called .certs in which I have two certificates
stored as equifax.pem and gmail.pem as per instructions which have
proven to be correct for linux.
When I copied the .certs directory to the Mac, I ran c_rehash .certs
and new symlinks were created.

My poll statements looks like this:
poll pop.gmail.com with proto POP3
       ## the following is all one line
       user '*********' there with password '******' is 'tim' here
           mda "/usr/bin/procmail" options ssl sslcertck sslcertpath
           ~/.certs/
       ## / the following ...
the action fails and the associated error messages are as follows.
"""
fetchmail: Server certificate verification error: unable to get
local issuer certificate
fetchmail: This means that the root signing certificate (issued for
/C=US/ST=UT/L=Salt Lake City/O=The USERTRUST
Network/OU=http://www.usertrust.com/CN=UTN-USERFirst-Hardware) is
not in the trusted CA certificate locations, o
fetchmail: Server certificate verification error: certificate not
trusted
fetchmail: Warning: the connection is insecure, continuing anyways.
(Better use --sslcertck!)
"""
I suspect that the syntax in the poll statement may be incorrect,
but am unable to know what to do to proceded.
TIA
