[rt-users] Fetchmail - Google Apps

[Mike Johnson]

I'm running 5.9.0, not surei f that's current.

I ended up figuring it out...

My config lines are as such...

poll imap.gmail.com proto imap port 993:
username <mygmailusername>@mydomain.com password <mypassword> ssl mda
"/usr/bin/perl /usr/local/rt3/bin/rt-mailgate --url
http://normedtx.lakeheadu.ca/rt3/ --queue Helpdesk --action correspond"

I got confused on which sections were server and which were user.... and the
parsing errors didn't really do it for me... I had to read the man pages
again to realize ssl went in the user section and port went in the server
section.

All good now!!

I really really wish I set this up from scratch so I knew how it worked...
This box has been running for a good 6-7 yrs, and I only logged onto it
about 1.5 yrs ago.  As soon as I logged in, apparently it became my box to
admin HAHAHA... oh well, it's nice to be wanted.

Thanks!
MIke.
