[fetchmail-users] fetchmail doesn´t fetching

[Alex M. <al3...@gm...>]

Hi all,

First of all, excuse me if i ask some repetitive question. I´ve been loking
on internet for the solution or a similar problem with no luck. I´m trying
to use fetchmail with a pop account. I´ve tried this conf:


alex@trantor:~$ cat .fetchmailrc
#set syslog

poll localhost with proto POP3
user ale...@mo... there to alex here

alex@trantor:~$


and it seems that works, it connects and i can see on the shell some
messages... until i try to read with mutt. fetchmail is not writing the
mails or at least i don´t know where is it writing them.

I´m running debian stable and fetchmail 6.2.5.4-1. I attach you some more
information of fetchmail -V
