Um, I helped to figure out how to handle the python problem with
that port, and I tested it on my system, without python installed.
If there is a python-related problem, please submit a transcript
showing the error.

Again, I've tested most or all recent versions of this port. Since
it worked for me, it is hard to figure out what problems you are
encountering. Since fetchmail is useful and popular software, I
very much want the port to work correctly for everyone. Please
show us exactly what problems you are having!
