CentOS - Jan 2020 - Fetchmail

Hi all,

Anyone know how to specify for fetchmail in .netrc the "folder" to
read  ?

If tried folder XYZ
and it says unknown token folder.
Man page says that should work.

Jerry

it also says unknown token for "timeout"
version is 6.3.24 and man page says timeout is valid as a token.

I assume the manpage you reference is fetchmail's.

If my reading is correct, the only thing(s) that fetchmail
will get from .netrc is the user & password for a host
it will access.  The rest of the stuff should got into
~/.fetchmailrc.
