Re: FETCHMAIL AND GMAIL?
Hi,
The problem is the password in .fecthmailrc is not the passeword of your GMAIL messaging.
For GMAIL, fetchmail is an external application, you must generate another password that used only by fetchmail!
Now, when fetchmail run, after I can't see my email with my client email (mutt), what I can do tor see it?
Regards.
Alex

I had problems with fetchmail and gmail pop3. emails would start being
missed after undeleted emails hit about 600. By 1000 undeleted emails,
nothing was being downloaded. I don't remember if emails were being marked.
Fixed it by changing to IMAP.
