Correct Fetchmail with SSL?

Hi,

I have _almost_ successfully setup fetchmail with ssl to gmail. But a
few small error messages. I post a trial run below:

andrew@ilium:~$ fetchmail -v

I suspect the 'notflushed' message relates to me not having procmail
setup properly yet. (I think fetchmail will not delete the remote
messages until messages have been successfully delivered?)

But I am puzzled about:

fetchmail: POP3< +OK 1 551
fetchmail: POP3> LAST
fetchmail: POP3< -ERR Not supported
fetchmail: Not supported

And I would love to know if I have set the ssl connection up
properly: can this be told from here??

Thanks for your patience with this long post!

Andrew

non flushed meansthey havent been removed from the Gmail server. this is
controlled by the "options keep" in fetchmailrc.

This sorted it out for me.


poll pop.googlemail.com with proto POP3 and options uidl
user '(E-Mail Removed)' there with password 'put password here' is
'LOCAL USER GOES HERE' here
options keep ssl sslcertck sslcertpath /etc/ssl/certs/

Debian handily has a package called ca-certificates so they were all
handily there as (I believe) open-ssl recomends them.

good luck on your mission but be careful with procmail
