Hi Walter,

I don't have an answer to your fetchmail problem but would like to point out
that work is being done to get a python 3 compatible version of checkmail in
gentoo. See https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/17239 for this. It has not yet
been merged into gentoo official, but I use this package myself without issue.

Hopefully in the near future this package will become part of gentoo. Till then,
I can help you to install this package/ebuild on your system if needed.

Regards,

Remco
