Kolab & Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.0

Mon May 24 16:52:56 CEST 2004

I had a problem with fetchmail too!  Have you set-up fetchmail to send to
username at hostname where username is the UID you gave them in the LDAP users,
and hostname is the hostname for your server.

e.g. my UID is stephenh and my server's hostname is
srvcht02.chertsey.dnsalias.net so my entry in my .fetchmailrc file is:
user 's.hind' there with password '*********' is
'stephenh at srvcht02.chertsey.dnsalias.net' here options fetchall

Hope this helps

Stephen Hind
