[ubuntu] Problem with getmail

view story
linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – Years ago I've configured getmail to fetch messages from 2 different accounts and put them in the local Maildir. This has been working flawlessly - until yesterday. No matter which getmail retriever module I use, I receive an error message like this: Code: getmail version 4.24.0 Copyright (C) 1998-2009 Charles Cazabon.  Licensed under the GNU GPL version 2. BrokenUIDLPOP3Retriever:xxxxx@xxxxxx.com:110: getmailrc: protocol error (-ERR EOF)   1 messages (1104 bytes) retrieved, 0 skipped I've also manually logged into the POP3 server via telnet, there are 50+ messges on (Hardware)

Ok, I'll look at that--I also use getmail, but then use maildrop.  (I used to use procmail, but Charles Cazabon wrote a few posts on the getmail list that got me interested in trying maildrop, and I like it.)I realize, from both answers, that this is my poor phrasing of my question, but you've both also sort of answered it.  My proper question should have been, I use xbuffy or

syncing two maildirs 28 weeks 5 days ago

I have a server that I use to frequently get email from Google using offlineimap. the email is stored in a maildir format on this server.

What tool can I use to sync this maildir with the local maildir that is on my latop?

I've tried getmail but that doesn't have a two-way sync. syncmaildir gave me headaches (kept crashing, plus has some strange dependencies on gtk).

rss feeds to imap server? 45 weeks 4 days ago

So I'd like to try rss2email, which you simply give an smtp server and it sends you the feed by email.I was wondering, since I currently fetch my mail with getmail and distribute it to my maildir with procmail, could I get rss2email to send the feeds localy (i.e.

Alternative to offlineimap 35 weeks 1 day ago

Actually, recently I have started using isync/mbsync, which I think is a better solution than the other combinations (offlineimap, or syncmaildir+getmail). It can do anything that I want to do with offlineimap, and so far has been quite reliable. So I recommend isync/mbsync highly to any one who wants to sync offline Maildir with IMAP servier.

I installed Getmail to retrieve emails from another email server and Procmail to filter the incoming emails. (I am running Debian/Squeeze.)

The recipe I created has this code:

:0: * ^TO_myemailaddress@domain.com Xyz

I thought this will make sure that all incoming emails will be saved in ~/Maildir/Xyz/ as individual files.
