I had the same problem Tom had, where it looked like fetchmail ran ok then returned me to a prompt. Maybe it was in -i info mode or -c check-only mode, but may I ask a followup question please? Has anyone gotten a line similar to Andreas's "poll" one below to work using SSL? Could someone layout the framework for such a sample .fetchmailrc please? Word on Freebsd Street is that IMAP is fast obsoletizing POP3, so I was considering IMAP, although all I'm interested in is one mail folder (then I can do PINE or procmail filtration locally on my FreeBSD 4.5 box).
