Two questions: are you sure you have an IMAP account set up? Reading from here, it appears that the settings may be different: http://www.ndsu.edu/its/help/index/e_mail/ndsu_outlook/non_supported_e_mail_software_setup/imap/ Also, I assume you want to fetch e-mail first and use a mailer separately. Is this true? If not, you can forget about fetchmail and have claws-mail or thunderbird or sylpheed or something else do it for you. I am a latecomer to this thread, so do not know if you mentioned this earlier.
