OK. I check /etc/fetchmailrc and removed all the
entries. Now I only have ~/.fetchmailrc and
start it locally. my ~/.fetchmailrc for yahoo
looks following:
set postmaster "wojtek"
set bouncemail
set no spambounce
set properties ""
poll pop.mail.yahoo.com with proto POP3
user 'wmalinski' there with password 'mypasswd'
is 'wojtek' here options fetchall
when I run fetchmail from fechmailconf I got
following for one of my mails:
#*****************************.**********************************.*****************************.*************************.*********fetchmail:

I have my local copy of ~/.fetchmailrc. I do not know (have to check when I get home) whether the /etc/fetchmailrc is used.
How can I tell whether /etc/fetchmailrc is used?
If it exists, it will be used - not instead of, but both of them: one by the system (script /etc/ppp/poll.tcpip) and another by you.
And if so is there a setting in Yast (or somwhere else) that I can turn it off?
Yast would create it if on Yast you defined mailboxes to be fetched. Undefine them - or simply delete the file.
There is another possibility: there is a problem while downloading mail from yahoo, the connection to the server goes down, and mail is not deleted from the server. Depending on many things, including your configuration, mail could be downloaded again. To detect this, look at the mail log - it maybe necessary to call fetchmail with the -v parameter (verbose).
