Salut Vincent,

Can I see your configuration?  Type:  fetchmail -Vf /etc/fetchmailrc 
and the output of a "/etc/init.d/fetchmail debug-run"?

Be sure to elide any passwords, in case they slip through.

If you have installed a newer fetchmail version since your original bug
report, please also tell me the new version number.

Merci d'avance.
