 |
|
Hi all,
I followed the guide to Mutt email to have my GMail email in my PC. So I have:
| Code: |
pmatos@drserver ~ $ cat .fetchmailrc
set daemon 90
set syslog
set postmaster pmatos
poll pop.gmail.com with proto POP3 uidl
username "pocmatos@gmail.com" there with password "password" is "pmatos" here
options keep ssl sslfingerprint
'44:A8:E9:2C:FB:A9:7E:6D:F9:DB:F3:62:B2:9E:F1:A9'
|
| Code: | pmatos@drserver ~ $ cat .procmailrc
MAILDIR=$HOME/Common/Mail
LOGFILE=$HOME/Common/Mail.log
LOGABSTRACT=no
#VERBOSE=on #for debugging only
VERBOSE=off
FORMAIL=/usr/bin/formail
NL="
"
##recipe lines begin with :0
##dont put comments on recipe lines
##disable a recipe with the false condition !
##condition lines begin with * and regex is your friend
##conditions are anded and everything after * is fed straight into egrep
##one action line follows the conditions, in this case it is a mailbox name
################################
# Last rule: mail that gets #
# this far goes in default box #
################################
:0
* .*
default
# End of file |
A lot of activity happens... from the logs:
| Code: | Apr 8 14:01:03 drserver fetchmail[16155]: POP3> LIST 459
Apr 8 14:01:03 drserver fetchmail[16155]: POP3< +OK 459 4916

Apr 8 14:01:04 drserver fetchmail[16155]: POP3> QUIT
Apr 8 14:02:08 drserver fetchmail[16155]: POP3< +OK Farewell. |
after I ran it with:
| Code: | | fetchmail -akv -m "/usr/bin/procmail -d %T" |
But nothing shows up in my mail folder: /home/pmatos/Common/Mail (setup in .procmailrc) ...
Any ideas if anything is wrong or if my mail is being saved somewhere else? |

What are the ownership and permissions of /home/pmatos and /home/pmatos/.procmailrc? Make sure that both are writable only by pmatos.
. instead of .* would work as well, but you can leave it out entirely - the number of condition lines is zero or more. |

After setting the correct permissions, it works. Is there any good web/desktop frontend to procmail configuration? |

| No idea. I've used procmail for 15 years or so and never felt the urge to look for a gooey. |
