Hi,
I am trying to download email from my ISP. When I telnet to my pop server the
mail is there. When I try to download it I get SOCKET=2 error. These files
are not too big either.

mfever@myhost:~$ fetchmail

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
My .fetchmailrc looks like this:
set syslog
poll mail.ISP.mail.com protocol pop3 username mfever password 11111111
mda /usr/bin/procmail
fetchlimit 100
I get the above error even for email of size 100K. How do I fix this error?
Thank you in advance for any help.
