    Hi!

    I'm using fetchmail 5.9.11-6.2 from woody since a while without any problems,
    but now mail retrieval fails with the following error messages:

            fetchmail: POP3> RETR 1
            fetchmail: POP3< -ERR cannot open disk file error 2
            fetchmail: cannot open disk file error 2
            fetchmail: POP3> QUIT
            fetchmail: POP3< +OK POP3 server closing connection
            fetchmail: client/server protocol error while fetching from mail.epost.de
            fetchmail: 5.9.11 querying mail.epost.de (protocol POP3) at Sun 30 Nov 2003
            14:40:45 CET: poll completed
            fetchmail: Query status=4 (PROTOCOL)
            fetchmail: normal termination, status 4

    This happened from one day to another without changing anything. I have plenty
    enogh of disk space and also plenty enough free inodes so I'm clueless what
    this could be or what I could do to fix it. Perhaps my mail provider changed
    something, but I can read and download my mails directly with kmail without
    any problems.

    As it claims to be a 'protocol error' I also tried IMAP, but then I get the
    following error messages:

            fetchmail: client/server synchronization error while fetching from
            mail.epost.de
            fetchmail: 5.9.11 querying mail.epost.de (protocol IMAP) at Sun 30 Nov 2003
            14:54:17 CET: poll completed
            fetchmail: Query status=7 (ERROR)
            fetchmail: normal termination, status 7

    Any ideas or suggestions appreciated!

    Please reply directly to me, because I'm not subscribed to the list at the
    moment.

    Thanks
    Christian
