Hi,

I hope, that this is the right place for my question regarding  
fetchmail:

I have switched my mailserver from linux to Mac OS X 10.4. I  
apreciated, that fetchmail was already included in  OS 10.4. But on  
OS X it takes 1-2 minutes for fetchmail to set up a connection:

When I start fetchmail, I get this message:

fetchmail: starting fetchmail 6.2.5 daemon
fetchmail: 6.2.5 querying ... (protocol IMAP) at Sat, 31 Dec 2005  
03:03:13 +0100 (CET): poll started

Then nothing happens for about one minute  (timout?), then fetchmail  
ist running normaly:

fetchmail: IMAP< * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4REV1 LOGIN-REFERRALS STARTTLS  
AUTH=LOGIN] ...  03:04:11 +0100 (CET)
fetchmail: IMAP> A0001 CAPABILITY
fetchmail: IMAP< * CAPABILITY IMAP4REV1 IDLE NAMESPACE MAILBOX- 
REFERRALS BINARY UNSELECT SCAN SORT THREAD=REFERENCES  
THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT MULTIAPPEND LOGIN-REFERRALS STARTTLS AUTH=LOGIN

On my linux server it takes only a few seconds for fetchmail to check  
the mail accounts? What can I do?


Kind regards,

Stephane
