If I'm understanding, it wouldn't be for anyone.   The problem
that we have is that I am using HEAD and have no idea about the
released versions.  Now, that said, my configuration for
fetchmail is simply the following.

Account's name:
Prodigy
Protocol:
POP3
Username:
edwinculp at prodigy.net.mx
Contraseña
******
Server:
pop3.prodigy.net.mx
Remote Mailbox:
[Blank because I just use the inbox]
Local Mailbox:
PRODIGY
     Get only new messages? (IMAP only)
     Mark messages as seen? (IMAP only)
  X Delete fetched messages from remote server?
     Fetch messages upon logging on?
(NOTE: You need to have 'Perform maintenance operations on
login?' enabled in your maintenance options.)

That may or may not help.  I have several accounts that I do this
way.

I will be glad to send you my IMP conf.php but it is now
generated from conf.xml and doubt that it would help.  In fact
there are only two variables relating to fetchmail.

$conf['fetchmail']['show_account_colors'] = false;
$conf['fetchmail']['size_limit'] = '4000000';

size_limit might have an effect.  I'm not sure you will have the
same.

Good luck,

I'm going to copy the list because I'm sending from a dynamic IP
that is on everyone's blacklist.
