Hello,

I've got a problem fetching my emails using getmail. First question is, of course, what's causing the problems. I'm going to think that getmail get's an error code from dovecot when trying to connect and just signals the most common error, so it seems to be a problem with dovecot.

Sorry but I cannot upload any files with the silly web interface of my provider, so I cannot attach a core dump here. :-(

Kind regards

Peter
