[GLLUG] Fetchmail and mail.msu.edu

[Melson, Paul]

I wouldn't think so.  If no protocol is used, fetchmail should use
'proto auto' which tries imap, pop2, and pop3.  The original post
doesn't indicate the command-line syntax being used, but the
.fetchmailrc file seems to work fine without any switches.  It may just
be an issue with the conversion of that account..?

Ah ha, I missed that....

yes, that appears to be running ok.

Do you need to specify the protocol?

ie: 

 poll mail.msu.edu
  proto pop3 user 'myusername' there with password 'mypasswd' is
'mylocalbox' here
 options fetchall ssl
