Hello Paul,

Yeah, I did.  Below is what fetchmailconf says when there is no mail...

fetchmail: 5. 0. 3 querying mail.uklinux.net (protocol POP3) at Wed etc
fetchmail: POP3< +OK POP£ ns1.uklinux.net v7.59 server ready
fetchmail: POP3> USER kelly\r
fetchmail: POP3< +OK User name accepted, password please
fetchmail: POP3> PASS *\r
fetchmail: POP3< +OK Mailbox open, 0 messages
fetchmail: POP3> STAT
fetchmail: POP3< +OK 0 0
fetchmail: No mail for kelly at mail.uklinux.net
fetchmail: POP3> QUIT\r
fetchmail: POP3< +OK Sayonara
fetchmail: normal termination, staus 1
Done.

Now that looks (to my amateur eyes) okay.  The time I ran it before it
looked very similar to the output in the previous e-mails of this thread,
and fetchmailconf managed to lose some of my mail, that's why I,m being
very hesitant with it.

Any suggestions?

Harvey
