    OK. I check /etc/fetchmailrc and removed all the
    entries. Now I only have ~/.fetchmailrc and
    start it locally. my ~/.fetchmailrc for yahoo
    looks following:
    set postmaster "wojtek"
    set bouncemail
    set no spambounce
    set properties ""
    poll pop.mail.yahoo.com with proto POP3
           user 'wmalinski' there with password 'mypasswd'
    is 'wojtek' here options fetchall

    when I run fetchmail from fechmailconf I got
    following for one of my mails:

    #*****************************.**********************************.*****************************.*************************.*********fetchmail:
    SMTP>. (EOM)
    fetchmail: SMTP< 250 Ok: queued as 5C965187B5
