− | If you connect to the SMEserver console by Putty ssh-client (or similar) you can copy and paste the commands (very convenient).
| + | To enable detailed logging on a per account basis for troubleshooting purposes do the following: |
| + | |
| + | From the Fetchmail management interface, select mail retrevial, select the required account, set the option for: Do you want to debug this account - YES |
| + | |
| + | Look at the maillog log file a few hours later for possible clues. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | To enable detailed logging in Fetchmail (and be able to monitor it after typing /etc/startmail), manually edit /etc/fetchmail and put fetchmail in verbose mode. |
| + | Then start it with /etc/startmail and check the log with tail -f |

| + | ===Configuration === |
| + | |
| + | if Fetchmail start to load multiple time the same emails, this might be a timeout problem, you should increase the default value (30 second): |
| + | /sbin/e-smith/db configuration setprop FetchMails timeout 30 |
| + | /sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/fetchmail |
| + | |
| + | If Fetchmail is unable to find te destination host, you can set it here: |
| + | /sbin/e-smith/db configuration getprop FetchMails fetchhost |
| + | /sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/fetchmail |
| + | |
| + | === FAQ === |
| + | '''Q: What do these strange mails with '#********' from cron mean?'''<br> |
| + | A: If you enabled the debug option for an account in the Mail Retrieval panel in the server-manager you will possibly receive mail from Cron Daemon with the subject "Cron <root@YOURSERVER> /etc/startmail". The mail contains patterns like this: #********. |
| + | You will stop receiving this mails if you disable debugging for all configured users in the Mail Retrieval panel in the server-manager. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | ===E-mail Retrieval Error=== |
