5. TEST
I strongly recommend that your first fetchmail run use the -v and -k

+This software is known to work with the qpop/popper series of
+freeware POP3 servers; also with the imapd servers that are
+distributed with Pine from the University of Washington. Other
+POP3 servers have been known to give it indigestion. Test carefully!
+If you have problems, switcch to imap.
