Description

Finished installation of nethserver-fetchmail i can see a warning on UI (see attchments)

/var/log/messages reported:
eb 15 13:33:10 botolo esmith::event[14246]: Event: firewall-adjust SUCCESS
Feb 15 13:33:10 botolo esmith::event[14435]: Event: runlevel-adjust
Feb 15 13:33:10 botolo esmith::event[14435]: Starting fetchmail: fetchmail: nessun server di posta specificato.
Feb 15 13:33:10 botolo esmith::event[14435]: [FALLITO]#015

Seems that fetchmail can't start without the first configuration.

I propose to enable only if there is at least one configured account
