Two questions: are you sure you have an IMAP account set up? Reading
from here, it appears that the settings may be different:
Also, I assume you want to fetch e-mail first and use a mailer
separately. Is this true? If not, you can forget about fetchmail and
have claws-mail or thunderbird or sylpheed or something else do it for
you. I am a latecomer to this thread, so do not know if you mentioned
this earlier.

I omitted the commented out lines.

Both dig and nslookup agree with that assessment,
but mail sent there from my cableone account still gets there.
WTF?
