fetchmail and SSL


I couldn't find a forum specifically for fetchmail so I'm trying here. I've been trying to avoid this for a long time but now ATT has ended the bellsouth.net mail services and has yahoo provide them. This new POP3 server requires SSL/TLS which means I had to implement SSL in my fetchmailrc. I think I have that working correctly but my authentication is failing. I know my password is correct because I can use it when I access mailboxes via their web interface. I can also access it via Thunderbird. So I have to assume that my implementation of SSL is flawed somewhere. Here is my (sanitized) fetchmailrc file.
Quote:
set postmaster "mailman"
set bouncemail
set no spambounce
set properties ""
poll pop.att.yahoo.com
proto pop3
user "myuserid"
pass "mypassword"
is myuserid
ssl
sslfingerprint "B5:81:88:C1:BA:4D:C9:28:21:03:B6:C9:25:4F:81:20"
sslcertck
sslcertpath /home/mailman/.certs
Here is the fetchmail -v output:

I don't see anything obvious and the SSL certs seem to be working but maybe someone else can. TIA.
