Hey, I am having the weirdest problem with my email. Kmail works fine with a similar configuration but fetchmail does not like anything. Fetchmail works fine with everything except when it tries to download the email. My email server is completely POP3. Heres the config then the output:
----Fetchmail Config----
set postmaster "aaron"
set bouncemail
set no spambounce
set properties ""
poll earthlink.net with proto POP3
user 'aaronmeyer' there with password 'xxxxxxxx' is 'aaron' here
--------
----Fetchmail's Output----
fetchmail: 5.9.11 querying earthlink.net (protocol POP3) at Thu Sep 12 20:33:40 2002: poll started
fetchmail: POP3< +OK NGPopper vEL_4_16 at earthlink.net ready <22864.1031887931@scaup>

Thanks for anything. I have a feeling this is easier than I think.

This:
| Code: |
fetchmail: SMTP connect to localhost failed
