What is your smeserver version, because if you try to install contribs on a sme8, there are no contribs for the moment in the repo.
You need to install by another way

When I boot SMEServer I do not see if fetchmail is up.
How can I check if fetchmail is up and running.

Thanks

Did you already test that your server can connect to the internet by running the connection test from the admin console?

http://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server:Documentation:Administration_Manual:Chapter6#Option_3:_Test_internet_access

If so, where you able to connect to the internet or not? If you did not test it then please do so.

what key is the horizontal indent?

[input]

what key is the horizontal indent?

In virtualbox terminal is no vertical indent. Do you have an another command for it ?
I looked with MC and fetchmail is installed.

[CharlieBrady]

In virtualbox terminal is no vertical indent.

That is called the 'pipe' symbol in linux, or 'vertical bar' in ASCII. If virtualbox does not allow you to type one of those, then it is useless for running linux.

I use virtualbox with SMEServer

Why?

Code: [Select]

yum clean all
yum install smeserver-fetchmail --enablerepo=smecontribs
