Greetings
I would like some help with this. I am trying to use fetchyahoo to get
mail from Yahoo. It logs in OK, but never gets the message IDs and so
does not download any email messges. I am using the latest version,
fetchyahoo-2.8.6, all p5 mods are up-to-date as of a cvsup done on
29-Oct-2004, on a FBSD4.10,p3 machine.
The fetchyahoo output is:
Logging in securely via SSL as xxx on Fri Oct 29 19:54:49 2004
You are using 5% of your 100.0MB limit.
Country Code 'au' not found. We will try the translation for
'us'.
Successfully logged in as xxx.
Country code : au Folder: Inbox Version: 2.8.6
Only retrieving new messages
Getting Message ID(s) for message(s) 1 - 26.
Got 0 Message IDs
Finished downloading 0 messages.
0 message(s) have been deleted.
Logged out.
My .fetchyahoorc is as follows:
# FetchYahoo configuration file
# values in this file override values specified in the script itself
# but are in turn overridden by values specified on the commandline
# lines starting with # are ignored
# do NOT use any quotes around values
# values can include whitespace, but not at the end.
###### SHOULD configure these ######

###### mail spool, mbox file and procmail configs ######

# if spoolName ends with a / we output in maildir format to that directory

# spool-mode must be either append, pipe or overwrite
# use pipe for procmail or other filter and append for a normal spool
# ignored if spoolName is a maildir directory

send-to = me@example.com , me2@example.com
# the e-mail address used as the from address, this should probably be at the
# same ISP as the outgoing smtp mailhost specified above

# set this to 1 if you want to use sendmail to deliver messages
use-sendmail = 0
# set this to the location of your sendmail binary if you set the above to 1
sendmail = /usr/sbin/sendmail
###### other configuration ######
# IMPORTANT Yahoo gives trouble when downloading over 100 messages at a time
# Setting this to more than 100 (or 0 for unlimited) may cause problems.
# max number of messages to download in one go

# set this to N to not download messages larger than N kb

# if this is 0, the program runs once and terminates
# Otherwise this is the number of minutes between successive mail checks.
repeat-interval = 0
# to leave messages as unread on the server, set this to 1
# this is only useful if no-delete is also set to 1
leave-unread = 0
# if you are using a program/filter which does not expect a From_ line
# at the start of the message, set this to 1
no-from-line = 0
# set logout to 1 to make fetchyahoo logout after downloading messages
logout = 1
# set status-only to 1 to only get the number of messages
status-only = 0
# set warning-level to 0 to not warn
# if >0, will print a warning if mailbox is >= N% full
warning-level = 0
Thank you in advance
