I have no experience of using IMAP with fetchmail, but I wonder what that
'via' command is doing? The manual says it is to "Specify DNS name of
mailserver, overriding poll name" Since it is the same as the poll name it
seems redundant.
Also you do not have an "is" command. The normal format of a fetchmail line is
:-
poll pop.provider.net proto pop3
user "jsmith", with password secret1, is "jsmith" here
Finally if you put in some global parameters such as :-
set postmaster "your_user"
set syslog
Then any errors will alert you, and there will be a detailed error log in
/var/log/syslog
