Re: [fetchmail-users] strange polling errors

[Jonathan B. <jon...@er...>]

With verbose logging... I'm including the pertinent part:

Feb 26 16:12:03 jnoblade fetchmail[4894]: [ID 425900 mail.info] IMAP> 
A0004 IDLE
Feb 26 16:12:03 jnoblade fetchmail[4894]: [ID 163756 mail.info] IMAP< + 
IDLE accepted, awaiting DONE command.
Feb 26 16:17:04 jnoblade fetchmail[4894]: [ID 676216 mail.error] re-poll 
failed

Feb 26 16:17:14 jnoblade fetchmail[4894]: [ID 702911 mail.info] Trying

and then things proceed normally.
