The bullet points below mention a few useful hints for package(r)s:
-- Please use OpenSSL and add --with-ssl to the ./configure command line.
- SSL/TLS support hasn't been enabled in the default build in order to
- maintain fetchmail 6.2 compatibility as far as possible.
- SSL/TLS however is a highly recommended compilation option.
