<pre style="font-family: times new roman,serif;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,serif;">I accidentally posted the output of uname -a and fetchmail -v in my previous mail which i feel would confuse those trying to help, hence I am reposting my problem to the list.
<br><br>I am using a setup of mutt (version 1.5.9i)+fetchmail (version 6.2.5+NTLM+SDPS+SSL+NLS ) and exim4(4.50-8Sarge2) to access my work mail id <a href="mailto:vivekc@learning.hifx.net">vivekc@learning.hifx.net</a></span>
