Andrew, Thanks, you led me to the solution.
Running $ fetchmail -cv told me that my POP3 account was inactive, and when I called my provider (Web.com), they informed me that the value of the poll line in .fetchmailrc had to be changed now to my domain name rather than the server name. I suspect they alerted me to the change by sending me an HTML message, which I tend not to read because I use a text-based mail reader. -- Haines Brown, KB1GRM -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
