Try putting the "poll" line below the two "user" lines. Some testing I
just did shows that it might help.

You may miss a 'protocol pop3' or similar in a line somewhere.

You may want to keep it simple and have just one line in your
.fetchmailrc. This works for me:

poll pop.xs4all.nl proto pop3 username 'mvanrees' there is 'maurits' here password '********'

Also you may want to reread the man or info page for fetchmail,
especially read what is said about setting defaults. Here is the
important part of my .fetchmailrc, which is somewhat different. BTW, I
don't run it as daemon and in fact only run it to occasionally check
some old email addresses. But it works.

----------
set no bouncemail
set no spambounce
set properties ""
set daemon 0

defaults via pops.xs4all.nl proto pop3
      is 'maurits' here options no keep no flush

# You can add: with password 'blabla' (possibly unsafe)
# or put your password in ~/.netrc (See 'man netrc'.)

poll mvrdata
      user 'mvrdata' ssl
----------

When experimenting I got the following error, which may have a clue
for you as well:

File /home/maurits/.fetchmailrc must have no more than -rwx--x--- (0710) permissions.

So a 'chmod 0710 ~/.fetchmailrc' could be good. Or pick 0600.

HTH,
