fetchmail problem

[Eduard Breuer <linux@austrialpinusa.com>]

Hi,

I am trying to get my mail working. I run Debian woody R4. I installed 
pine and fetchmail. I can send mail out (so pine works, sort of). The 
problem is that I had to create .fetchmailrc file because it was not 
created automaticaly. I should mention that I have no GUI. I do not need 
one. I do mostly calculations on my machines. Just before you would 
suggest to run the fatchmailconfig utility, Anyways. I execute fetchmail 
-v to see what is going on and even after leting it on for  overnight 
downloading the linux mailing list , nothing. Here is my .fetchmail 
file. I looked up many pages and I get confused . Do I need to use "" 
before and after the user name and password or not. Some resources use ' 
'. The example did not use it so I followed that. se the commented out 
example at the end. Please help.
Thank you

regards, ed

# /etc/fetchmailrc for system-wide daemon mode
# This file must be chmod 0600, owner fetchmail

# Daemon configuration
# These two are set in /etc/default/fetchmail
set daemon	300		# Pool every 5 minutes
set postmaster "pedro"
#set syslog			# log through syslog facility

set no bouncemail		# avoid loss on 4xx errors
				# on the other hand, 5xx errors get
				# more dangerous...
