Look at line 2028 of the fetchmailconf python script, you will find...

That's where it dies, you never see the gui because the program is dying on you.
I have been there, and how can I avoid it to die ?.
Fix your setup so that gethostbyaddr returns the correct information.
Now, to answer your question, I run it as a normal user in terminal, e.g.,
helphand@helphand:~> fetchmailconf helphand@helphand:~>
And up pops the GUI.
Sounds very easy. But what's the difference between your line 2028 and mine ?
Nothing, my line 2028 is identical to your line 2028. The problem isn't with fetchmailconf, it's with something about your setup that is causing bad info to be returned to gethostbyaddr. What does your /etc/hosts file have in in? Scott -- POPFile, the OpenSource EMail Classifier http://popfile.sourceforge.net/ Linux 2.6.8-24.14-default x86_64
