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 karthikv@newdoc.dartmouth.org: fetchmail: Authorization failure on karthikv@newdoc.dartmouth.org fetchmail: Query status=3 (AUTHFAIL) What is going on here? Please advice on how to proceed next.
