It works on my machine, too. It is the -a that is the crucial parameter.
IIRC -a denotes to fetch both old and new mail, so I assumed that it was
not necessary in order to fetch new mail. That was wrong!

My only problem left is that for the last 24 hours it has been impossible
to connect to my ISP, so I do not know when this message hits the world.

I don't suppose you can help me there :-)



Best regards
