<div dir="ltr"><font face="georgia,serif">Hi,<br><br>I usually access gmail over POP3 using fetchmail, which has always worked fine. I was on a trip recently, and did not POP mail for about 8-9 days or so. Since I returned (Thursday) POP keeps telling me that there is no mail for me, even though there is, and I can access it over the web interface.<br>
<br>Has anyone else experienced anything like that or maybe heard of changes on Google's side? They changed their privacy settings starting on Thursday, but this should not have affected POP3, should it? Can someone else try?<br>
<br>The relevant part of my ~/.fetchmailrc is <br><br>server <a href="http://pop.gmail.com">pop.gmail.com</a> protocol pop3<br> user <a href="mailto:oleg@goldshmidt.org">oleg@goldshmidt.org</a>, with password *****, ssl, and fetchall, is oleg here<br clear="all">
