hi We have an (old) freebsd server running that needs replacing (busy with that) but now suddenly getmail doesn't get our mails anymore (wich is not good for any business) the mails are still on our providers server. we get them through a simplepop3retriever getmail version: 4.3.4 when I give the command to get the mails manually I get: Code: faber@freebsd$ getmail -r /root/.getmail/2go getmail version 4.3.4 Copyright (C) 1998-2005 Charles Cazabon.
