I am new to fetchmail and fairly new to Linux. I would
appreciate any help getting my customer's email server
working properly. Here is the situation:
* Customer wants to use Cyrus IMAP to pull down
email from ISP server and keep all emails
The same setup I use.
* I have installed Cyrus IMAP and can see my
folders on Outlook from a remote location (home)
* sendmail seems to be configured properly
* I have configured .fetchmailrc and it seems to
connect to my email at the ISP
* However, it does not pull down the emails (new
or old) into my IMAP inbox.
cyrus.conf says:
# at least one LMTP is required for delivery
# lmtp cmd="lmtpd" listen="lmtp" prefork=0
lmtpunix cmd="lmtpd"
listen="/var/imap/socket/lmtp" prefork=0
Here is my .fetchmailrc file:
[root(_at_)ServerCharlie root]# vi .fetchmailrc
set daemon 20
set postmaster dbrown
set logfile ./.fetchmail.log
poll post.strato.de with proto auto user "myusername"
with pass mypassword is "dbrown" --keep --all here forcecr
smtpaddress localhost and wants mda "/usr/sbin/sendmail"
Try this instead (oh, and upgrade to 6.2.5):
set daemon 20
set postmaster dbrown
set logfile /path/to/home/.fetchmail.log
poll post.strato.de
user "myusername" with pass "mypassword" is "dbrown"
here
keep all
If you check the manual pages you'll discover that "--keep" and "--all"
are COMMAND LINE flags. The use of "forcecr" should be avoided unless
you know you need it. Similarly the last line can nearly certainly be
dropped.
fetchmail: Nachricht
dbrown(_at_)b-e-s-t-group(_dot_)com@post.strato.de:4 (2803 Oktetts) wird
ausgelassen nicht geflusht
Unfortunately I don't know german :)
PLEASE - keep list traffic on the list. Email sent directly to me may
be ignored utterly.
