Default for fetchmail also changed from system wide start to per user support. You need to copy your /etc/fetchmailrc to ~/.fetchmailrc Enable the service with systemctl --user enable fetchmail For the first time start it with systemctl --user start fetchmail
I'm not sure if upstream (added as Cc) would like to restore system wide use. As noted, Arch Linux has an example for that. @Matthias, what's your opinion on this? I've currently lost my IMAP / POP email access, but I'm going to set up a test environment at least. Cheers, Laszlo/GCS [1] https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/fetchmail
