fetchmail with pop3

once i used kmail (or sometimes outlook express) for my e-mail client.
i had no problem with that.
now being with unix console, i want to retrieve pop3 mails, using fetchmail.
(where i can browse my mailbox(es) later)
and it seems something i'm missing or do not understand.
assuming my e-mail address is myname@isp.com
my pop3 server is mail.isp.com (notice! ``mail.'' prefix)
i configured fetchmail with the followings.
Quote:
% cat ~/.fetchmailrc
poll mail.isp.com protocol pop3 user "myname" password "mypassword"
%
after i fetchmail(ed) i got the error.
(note that i have another ~/.procmailrc, which should not relate to the topic)
Quote:
% fetchmail -akv -m "/usr/bin/procmail -d -%T"

fetchmail: POP3< LOGIN-DELAY 10
fetchmail: POP3< PIPELINING
fetchmail: POP3< UIDL

fetchmail: POP3< .
fetchmail: POP3> STLS
fetchmail: POP3< +OK Begin SSL/TLS negotiation now.
fetchmail: POP3> CAPA
fetchmail: POP3> USER myname
fetchmail: POP3> PASS
fetchmail: Unknown login or authentication error on myname@mail.isp.com
fetchmail: POP3> QUIT
fetchmail: 6.2.2 querying mail.isp.com (protocol POP3) at Sat Sep 24 17:44:46 2005: poll completed
fetchmail: Query status=15
fetchmail: normal termination, status 15
the problem is in the line highlighted with red.
authentication error on myname@mail.isp.com
certainly, authentication had to fail because my e-mail address is myname@isp.com not myname@mail.isp.com
how to config it correctly? i have tried googling, but still don't know.
any help would be much appreciated.

thx in advance
