My final words on this issue (I hope). It is more an observation than a
criticism of anything that was done. In fact, I would have done the same
myself and copied ~/.fetchmailrc over to a new install.
One possible problem is changes in the new installed package. Maybe it
was something which was initially suboptimal. It is never good to rely
on things staying the same. Not that I'm pointing a finger at fetchmail
but there can be interactions which render a previous working setup
non-working in some aspect. It is good that the OP ended up with a
working mail system, even though the cause cannot be pinpointed.
This is a generality but there is at least one participant in this
thread who copied files over (CUPS was the software, I think) from an
old to a new install and came spectacularly unstuck. It pays to think
carefully when putting old wine into new jars.
