[SOLVED] fetchmail question

[dmpop]

Hello,

I'm trying to make fetchmail to fetch messages from my Gmail account. Here is my .fetchmailrc file:

Code: Select all

poll pop.gmail.com with proto POP3 and options no dns
user 'user@gmail.com' there with password 'password' is
'dmpop' here options keep ssl

When I run the fetchmail -v command, everything seems to work fine, but the /var/spool/mail directory remains empty. Here is fetchmail's output:

Code: Select all

dmpop@bubba:~$ fetchmail -v

Am I doing something wrong? Thanks!

Aha! The email is actually delivered to /home/USER/mail Better yet, I can then use Bubba's built-in Webmail to view the fetched emails. Thanks to helpful people at Excito who helped to sort this out.
