macOS HELP with fetchmail problems!

[ScKaSx]

Hi All,

Here's the error I'm getting when I run "fetchmail --version":

fetchmail --version

This is fetchmail release 6.2.5+INET6+NLS
Fallback MDA: (none)
Darwin me.server.com 8.10.1 Darwin Kernel Version 8.10.1: Wed May 23 16:33:00 PDT 2007; root:xnu-792.22.5~1/RELEASE_I386 i386 i386
fetchmail:/Users/me/.fetchmailrc:1: SSL is not enabled at ssl

I have several issues with this:

(1) I installed fetchmail 6.3.8 from source and it appears that my system only recognizes fetchmail 6.2.5 (from the error above). I installed the 6.3.8 version in /usr/bin which should've overrided the original 6.2.5 verision. There is another version of fetchmail in the fink folder (/sw/bin/fetchmail), but I think /usr/bin is first in my path and should take precedence.

(2) The error above says "SSL is not enabled at ssl" however, when I installed 6.3.8 I configured it specifically for SSL support (i.e. ./configure --with-SSL). This was the reason I decided to upgrade to fetchmail 6.3.8 because version 6.2.5 would always give me certificate errors:

fetchmail: Server certificate verification error: unable to get local issuer certificate
fetchmail: Server certificate verification error: certificate not trusted
fetchmail: Server certificate verification error: unable to verify the first certificate

I was still able to access my mail (via mutt), but it was never as secure as I wanted. Maybe this has nothing to do with the version I had, but anyways the fetchmail website says its better to have version 6.3.x.

Anyways, if you have any ideas or suggestions please respond.

Cheers,

Hmm, I got 6.3.8 on my 10.4.10 (intel) install:
