Fetchmail and Mediaone

[Jerry Feldman]

After the AT&T BB outages 2 weeks ago, I changed my forwarding on 
blu.org to point to the mediaone server (gaf at mediaone.net) rather than 
my smtp server. I run fetchmail to grab any mail I have on the mediaone 
pop server. 

Every once in a while I find a message on their server which fetchmail is 
unable to flush. Yet, I can go in with Netscape Messenger and flush it 
manually. I don't recall what version of fetchmail I'm using, but my 
system is running SuSE 7.1 professional with a 2.4 kernel. I generally 
keep my system up with the latest patches from SuSE. (BTW: I found 
that the version of fetchmail supplied with this SuSE release is more 
reliable than the previuous version). 

Has anyone had a similar experience either with fetchmail or other POP 
clients.
