Hi,
I have read that fetchmail is supporting recursive retrieval from IMAP,
but I have not been able to get it to work. If somebody can tell me what
I am doing wrong, I would be very thankful. I have read all of the
documentation on the fetchmail web site, the man page, and searched
google to no avail.
Here is my configuration and a double verbose log, with hostname and
username changed for privacy reasons. If you are going to tell me that
you can not help me because I have changed my username and hostname,
don't bother. I simply do not want to hear that type of nonsense.
BTW, notice the 'folder' lines below. I have tried without 'folder',
and with both variations listed, only to get the same results. It
cleans out my inbox but does not do recursive folder retrieval. The
reason for 'INBOX.' is that Courier IMAP uses the dot character for
folder delimiters, for example 'INBOX.lists.fetchmail-friends'.
