Hello,

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but somehow I can not
make fetchmail to work properly: it connects to my ISP's
mailserver, determines number  of mesages and even begins 
fetching the first of them (for some reason without a 
header, according to output from "fetchmail -v"), then
exits with this "Unknown error: -1". A setup is pretty
standard: just

poll    popper1.isf.kiev.ua proto pop3
	user (username) is (localname) here
	password (pass)
	fetchall

that's all. And here's a verbose output:

Would please anybody advice me what is missing 
here? Oh yes, a computer is just a plain home machine (no
local net, nothing special, just ppp account
with only mailbox at my ISP's server).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Vledimir.
