You might want to show us an example line, copied from your
actual .fetchmailrc file, but without the password showing, rather than
a retyped example.

e.g. poll pop.mail.yahoo.com.au proto pop3 user "ignored_mailbox", with password "secretwords", is "tim" here;

I use the glaringly obvious syntax, so it's easy to follow what I've set
into mine.  I do the same with things like iptables scripts (use the
long parameters, not the abbreviations - which I never remember).

Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5.  Today, it's FC7.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
