Bob,

this just means that there haven't been UIDs stored from previous
fetches (default file: ~/.fetchids), which is debug information and
"normal" for IMAP setups.

For fetchmail 6.4.x and older and with IMAP, those <empty> are expected
and will not change, these fetchmail versions only store UIDs when
fetching from POP3 servers that support the UIDL command and you keep
messages on the server.

But you were writing "fetchmail isn't working". This is not supported by
the log you have posted - you've aborted the run before fetchmail could
download and forward the first message.

So currently I am confused as to whether your setup around fetchmail is
working, or it is not and you want further support.

Regards,
Matthias
