Being too clever for my own good, I have the home computer in such a
state, thanks to a lot of experiments, that I cannot install other
clients without a lot of work (my fault, yes). However, I have the
password stored in the browser, so I don't have to type it every time
I check email with squirrelmail. I have looked at what firefox
transmits thanks to the live http headers extension.

The same password which, sent to squirrelmail via the form, works,
doesn't work if I copy it (correcting urlencoding, of course) into the
fetchmail script...

What else could it be?

of course, but the password should be the same, shouldn't it?
