Hi Jay,

something still is not working for me.  I removed the sslcertpath and 
then in response to an error I removed the '/home/user/.certs' 
directive.  And still I have an error.

See the log:

user at enabled:~$ emacs .fetchmailrc
user at enabled:~$ /usr/bin/fetchmail -k -s
fetchmail:/home/user/.fetchmailrc:20: syntax error at /home/user/.certs
user at enabled:~$ cat .fetchmailrc
# Configuration created Wed Jul  4 14:43:14 2001 by fetchmailconf
set postmaster "user"
set bouncemail
#set no spambounce
set properties ""
#set daemon 5

poll pop.gmail.com uidl proto pop3 port 995 auth password user
      "user at gmail.com" there with password "password" nokeep no fetchall
      ssl /home/user/.certs


user at enabled:~$ /usr/bin/fetchmail -k -s
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
user at enabled:~$ cat .fetchmailrc
# Configuration created Wed Jul  4 14:43:14 2001 by fetchmailconf
set postmaster "user"
set bouncemail
#set no spambounce
set properties ""
#set daemon 5


#poll pop.gmail.com proto pop3 port 995 user user at gmail.com is 'user' 
here password '*KP800st' ssl

poll pop.gmail.com uidl proto pop3 port 995 auth password user
      "user at gmail.com" there with password "password" nokeep no fetchall
      ssl
