It would still help if you could show us your existing .fetchmailrc file... Dennis> The POP3 server is mail.domain.com. The login account is Dennis> foobar@domain.com.

(Or Dennis> at least that is my read of the document they provide for Dennis> grabbing the email.) Ok, here's what I would try: fetchmail -c -v -u foobar@domain.com mail.domain.com and see what happens. You could also put the following in our .fetchmailrc file: poll mail.domain.com protocol pop3 username "foobar@domain.com" \ password "secret1" All on one line. Then do: fetchmail -v -c and see what happens. Sending us the logs would be helpful. Sanitize them of course, but at least let us see how the protocol negotiation goes, otherwise we're not going to be able to help you. John
