Andres,

Rob didn't know about the "set daemon 60" option which sends output to
/dev/null. You can override that option with with "-d0" or "--daemon 0"
on the command line, or, if you want to leave fetchmail in daemon mode,
the "--nodetach" (-N) option keeps output on your screen while in daemon
mode. (With syslog enabled, i. e. omitting the --nosyslog, the mail log
file, often /var/log/mail or /var/log/maillog, will contain that
information -- perhaps you need to tell syslog via /etc/syslog.conf to
capture mail.debug logging.)

Rob,

I have adjusted the G3 item of the FAQ <http://www.fetchmail.info/fetchmail-FAQ.html#G3>
to suggest "--nosyslog --nodetach -vvv"
(option merging is safe BTW since fetchmail ships a copy of GNU getopt,
so the comand line capabilities do not depend on system libraries).

Well, fetchmail appears to be doing something differently than
Thunderbird then. The new command line ("fetchmail --nosyslog -Nvv" or 
"fetchmail --nosyslog -vvd0") will hopefully provide us with some detail.

yes?

HTH,
