no, there is no "paid" reservation. I regularly access using fetchmail on
two different accounts as below:
poll pop.mail.yahoo.com tracepolls with proto POP3 timeout 150
user '<[email protected]' there with password 'a_password' is \
'<user>' here options fetchall stripcr sslproto tls1 ssl sslcertck \
mda '/usr/lib/sendmail -i -oem -f %F %T'
and from my fetchmail log:
fetchmail: reading message \
<user>@[email protected]:1 of 1 (12108 octets) \
flushed
