[rt-users] help: using RT with a gmail acct

[Mike Johnson]

I have fetchmail sucking in emails from gmail, and pushing that to
rt-mailgate.

it's pretty easy to setup.

Install fetchmail, get it running as per it's instructions and config it
something like this

poll imap.gmail.com proto imap port 993:
username youraccount at gmail.com password yourpass ssl mda "<pathto>/perl
<pathto>rt
-mailgate --url <urltort> --queue <yourqueue> --action <transaction type>"

I am pretty sure you have to log into the gmail account and turn on imap
for you to be able to use fetchmail in imap mode...

Hope that helps!
Mike.
