* Fix bug that prevented SMTP from being specified on the defaults line.
-* Changes in .fetchmailrc syntax: The token `remotefolder' no longer
- exists; it has been replaced by `mailbox'. The token `remote' no
- longer stands for `remotefolder' but for `remotename', a synonym for
- `username'. The purpose of these changes (which should only affect
- IMAP and POP2 users setting up for non-default mailboxes) is to prepare
- for syntax supporting multiple user queries per host.
-
* Allow program to run with no .fetchmailrc file again.

+The \fBis\fR keyword associates a following local username with the
