13 Thanks again, if I didn't thank you before.
14 I simply reverted, left it that way & forgot all about it
15 till I noticed that Fetchmail needs Python-2 only when using 'tk'.
16 Wanting to eliminate Py-2 ASAP, I emerged Fetchmail 6.4.1
17 & ran into the same problem. Eventually, I also noticed
18 that 'sslproto' needs an argument (red face) & added the '' .
19 Now it's fetching mail again (big smile).

21 However, my ISP is now sending me an e-mail every 5 min ,
22 after Fetchmail checks for mail :

24 From: "(Cron Daemon)" <purslow@***>
25 To: purslow@***
26 Subject: Cron <purslow@localhost> test -e /var/run/dhcpcd.pid && /usr/bin/fetchmail -s 2> /dev/null
27 fetchmail: Query status=2 (SOCKET)
28
29 Can anyone tell me how to suppress these msgs ?
