Topic: Fetchmail not working

[Trampas Stern]

I just installed the fetchmail rpm from www.e-smith.dyndns.org and am having problems. The first is I could not install the documentation/manuals I got an error syaing "file /etc/e-smith/web/functions/online-manual from install of e-smith-manuals-0.1-1 conflicts with file from package e-smith-base-4.8.0-15"

But the main problem I am having is that I set up fetchmail and it is not poping the email off the servers. I assume that I need to configure something in the "e-mail retrieval" screen, other than standard. I tried multidrop, but did not know what server to put in and got an error as "mail.myisp.xxx" was not found.

Thanks for your help

I edited the email cron template and then just put my server name as the secondary email server, which appears to make the fetechmail get the mail. Now if I had the manuals I could figure out how to put them in the correct IMAP account.

Just type:
man fetchmail

what version of SME are you using to get man to work?  My version (5.1.2) man is not found.
