Thanks for all responses -- Ray, I had removed a couple of comments from the pasted .fetchmailrc in the email composer. Hence the discrepancy about line number errors. :-?
Following Amin's advice I tried to run fetchmail from the cmd-line and I could'nt authenticate myself (I am 100% sure about keying in the correct passwd): $ fetchmail --keep --username "karthikv" newdoc.dartmouth.org Enter password for [EMAIL PROTECTED]: fetchmail: Authorization failure on [EMAIL PROTECTED] fetchmail: Query status=3 (AUTHFAIL) What is going on here? Please advice on how to proceed next.
