Can you please explain me the meaning of the error which i am getting while starting fetchmail e.g fetchmail -v -v -f /etc/fetchmail/fetchmailrc

fetchmail:/etc/fetchmail/fetchmailrc:11:parse error at passwd

your fetchmailrc does not have the right keyword. you probably need to check the 11th line.

try this line in fecthmailrc: poll popserver.name proto pop3 user "username" pass "yourpassword"
