--> This looks like fetchmail talking SSL to a non-SSL port. Note that TLS is

Indeed it did.  Thanks!

Starting "fetchmail --service 993" worked - mail was retrieved from
the Exchange server with no problem.

I did get one message in the logfile:

fetchmail: starting fetchmail 6.3.8 daemon
fetchmail: Server certificate verification error: self signed certificate in cer
tificate chain

This didn't seem to cause any problems.  Sorry, I'm a crypto neophyte.
I know what this means, literally, but don't know what the implications

Thanks again for the info about the SSL ports.
