Personally, I would always choose to just configure the IMAP mailboxes via Admin > PostMaster Mailboxes.
If you'd have set up the cron jobs as per the manual, you woulnd't have to alter those, and also you would not have to bother about fetchmail - OTRS will retrieve the messages directly from IMAP.
If you would decide to use fetchmail however, the OTRS mailing list is probably not the best place to ask about configuring fetchmail. Try your favorite unix/linux forum for that.
Best regards,

Dear colleague
Could you please help me to configure otrs, I have a trainee who works on it but she has difficulties on sending/receiving emails
Mentioned below the procedure of configuring:
She edited this file: /opt/otrs/.fetchmailrc
And type this line:
Poll DEEXVS03 protocol IMAP user wincor-nixdorf/softwaresupport.ma/softwaresupport.ma@wincor-nixdorf.com password YOURPASSWORD is otrs
After that, she activated the cronjob for fetchmail. /opt/otrs/var/cron and edited the file: fetchmail by adding this line:
#fetch every 5 minutes emails via fetchmail
*/5 * * * * [ -x /usr/bin/fetchmail ] && /usr/bin/fetchmail –a >> /dev/null
So normally OTRS/fetchmail should fetch the emails every 5 minutes from the IMAP/Exchange postbox, but it doesn’t work.
Maybe it’s possible to change somewhere in the source code?
With kindest regards.
Cordialement
