SC>Is there something wrong with it ?

SC>I have switched to imap, I can live with the smaller speed of mail

SC>Any ideas on what the heck is going on with fetchmail ?
With this .fetchmailrc file you would need to issue "fetchmail -v -a" to
download all messages from the server (v==verbose a== get all). Or you
could use fetchmailconf to configure your .fetchmailrc file to handle
it. The .fetchmailrc file can be much more detailed than this... here is
an example:
set syslog
set postmaster "ralph"
set bouncemail
set properties ""
set daemon 3
poll somebox.there.net with proto POP3
user 'ralph' there with password '*******' is ralph here warnings 3600
