Re: can't fetch mail

[Jack <ostroffjh users sourceforge net>]

Thanks Albrecht, but that produces no output.  Including mbox-mbox in 
the debug list does provide appropriate output, so I at least know 
G_MESSAGES_DEBUG is working.  It also does show appropriate output when 
I send a message.  What would cause balsa to not even try to do a pop3 
fetch?  I've confirmed that my configured  POP3 servers are set to check 
for mail on startup.
