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===
If your ISP does not provide a custom sort field and you experience the following errors occuring when Multidrop is enabled and the "Select Sort Method (for multi-drop)" is set to Default:
fetchmail: warning: multidrop for pop3.mypopserver.com requires envelope option!
fetchmail: warning: Do not ask for support if all mail goes to postmaster!
and/or
fetchmail: warning: multidrop for my.isp.domain requires envelope option!
fetchmail: warning: Do not ask for support if all mail goes to postmaster!
