Hi all,
may I ask for some newbie help: How do I get started with fetchmail?
My initial problem was that the IMAP exchange server started to strip
headerlines from messages. Up to now I used mutt directly on the
mailboxes, although I had some trouble sometimes. Thus I had a second look
at fetchmail (trying v.5.7 before).
Ok, I got fetchmail release 5.9.13+NTLM+NLS
But how do I start this thing?
A first attempt on 'fetchmail -avk exchange doubled' the messages,
pulling/pushing the messages back to there.
fetchmailconf does not work yet, due to some incorrect python support
(ImportError: No module named _tkinter)
I was looking for some well documented default .fetchmailrc, but there's
none around!?
What I want to do first:
- get some mail, identified by Receiver or header lines, to
local mailboxes (such as $HOME/Mail/In)
- leave some mail, identified by Sender, on the IMAP server,
maybe sorting it to other boxes, since Outlook is far from
perfect for this task.
- identify some spam (using procmail) and sort some out
Maybe fetchmail ist just too plain forward to use and install - but I'm
somehow lost. The FAQs and docs answer plenty of special problem, while I
did not find the straight-forward application in the help or docs yet.
Thanks for your help
Martin
