How can I use fetchmail with HP OpenMail?
No special configuration is required, but OpenMail versions prior to 6.0 have an annoying bug similar to the big one in Microsoft Exchange. The message sizes it gives in the LIST are rounded to the nearest 1024 bytes. It also has a nasty habit of discarding headers it doesn’t recognize, such as X- and Resent- headers. As with M$ Exchange, the only real fix for these problems is to get a POP (or preferably IMAP) server that isn’t brain-dead. OpenMail’s project manager claims these bugs have been fixed in 6.0. We’ve had a more recent report (December 2001) that the TOP command fails, returning only one line regrardless of its argument, on something identifying itself as “OpenMail POP3 interface”.
