(V. 6.0.10) Comlog shows 'All green" but Fetchmail throws error "There was a syntax error in the arguments to fetchmail"

**update**
Problem is solved.

https://doc.otrs.com/doc/manual/admin/s ... p3-account
The otrs-documentation is not very detailed on fetchimg mail's from an imap/pop3-account.

I thought that you have to activate the fetchmail-option in sysconfig to fetch mail's - but that's where I went wrong.
OTRS fetches it's mails via an internal process, which is configured via *Communication & Notifications / Mail Account Management*

AND

You can also use fetchmail (as an alternative) - which is configured by the sysconfig option.

Hi there!
running V 6.0.10 on a ubuntu 16.04 box

Lately the fetchmail-process from OTRS throws out an error-message:
"/usr/bin/fetchmail -a --ssl: There was a syntax error in the arguments to fetchmail"

The funny thing: - otrs still receives mails :?

Also in the admin-menu -> Communication log GUI -> The ComLog shows "green" status - no errors
Mailserver is an exchange 2016 / Protocol IMAPS with valid certificate

Any help here?
