Right ... I've done that and /var/log/fetchmail.log shows in it's
inerds...

"File /home/richard/.fetchmailrc must be owned by you."


Which is a bit odd since I already set permissions on this. ls -l
reveals..

richard:~> ls -l .fetchmailrc
-rw-------    1 richard  users        1736 2003-05-11 13:02
.fetchmailrc

Mail still doesn't download and I still have to do 'fetchmail -d0' as
root.


Thanks


Richard
