I am still having problems with fetchmail. Now after typing:
$ fetchmail -p POP3 -u ghulam mail.force9.net
Fetchmail says that there are x messages waiting for me. It tries
downloading but then times out with:
fetchmail: SMTP connect to voyager.ghulam.force9.co.uk failed: Operation
timed out
fetchmail: SMTP transaction error while fetching from mail.force9.net
What could be causing this?
Thanks,
Ghulam
