Apologies for repeating my message - the Cygwin list would only let me sign up using my googlemail account - then googlemail caught your response in a delete filter :-(

"fetchmail: MDA open failed"? The fetchmail simply reports that each message is "flushed". The log entries in this regard are identical on both machines. The log makes no reference in either case to MDA, even though on the netbook the MDA is correctly invoked. The fetchmail man page does not say whether MDA execution is logged, or whether there are more verbose forms of logging that might catch this. It simply says the message was "flushed". >> These are single-user machines, so I have administrative privileges > > You're crazy :-) Hmm, seriously?
