Okay, Here is where I am at....I changed my polling server back to what it orginally was...pop.west.cox.net...and now I am getting a great response...here it is ***********start********* thomas@www:/home/thomas> fetchmail -v -a --all Enter password for thomas@mydomain.com@pop.west.cox.net: fetchmail: 5.9.6 querying pop.west.cox.net (protocol POP3) at Fri Mar 8 15:48:59 2002: poll started fetchmail: POP3< +OK InterMail POP3 server ready. fetchmail: POP3> USER thomas@mydomain.com fetchmail: POP3< +OK please send PASS command fetchmail: POP3> PASS * fetchmail: POP3< -ERR invalid user name or password. fetchmail: invalid user name or password. fetchmail: Authorization failure on thomas@mydomain.com@pop.west.cox.net fetchmail: POP3> QUIT fetchmail: POP3< +OK thomas@mydomain.com InterMail POP3 server signing off. fetchmail: 5.9.6 querying pop.west.cox.net (protocol POP3) at Fri Mar 8 15:49:00 2002: poll completed fetchmail: Query status=3 (AUTHFAIL) fetchmail: normal termination, status 3 **************finish********* Now....it says that my username or password is wrong...I know the username and password I am submitting are correct....the thomas@mydomain.com is correct and that is what it seems to be polling with. And I know that I am typing the password in correct because I am using it (and my u-name) through their webmail interface. I read in the man page that using quotes in the ~/.fetchmailrc file causes problems with some qualified domains for some reason, so I have removed all quotes and my password, then I submit it when the prompt comes up for it.
