fetchmail finding downloaded mail

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,
It's been some time since I've used fetchmail, but I'm trying to
configure it again to backup my gmail account, and I can't figure out
where it's stored my downloaded mail. I'm using fedora20 and the
latest version of fetchmail.

I'm first trying to get it to download a single message from Trash as a test:

$ cat .fetchmailrc
poll imap.gmail.com protocol IMAP
   user "mysqlstudent@xxxxxxxxx" is alex here
   password 'mypass123'
   folder 'Trash'
   fetchlimit 1
   keep
   ssl

I've configured postfix on my local machine, and removed sendmail.
Postfix is running. Running "fetchmail -v" shows that it did download
the message, but I don't know where it put it. It's not in
/var/spool/mail/alex or anywhere in my home directory.

I don't have a ~/.procmailrc and there's nothing in /var/log/maillog.
What else do I need to do to find my mail?

Maybe you can recommend a better program for backing up my gmail
folder? I've also tried to simply access the "All Mail" folder, and it
appears to be inaccessible. Is it just a label and not actually a
folder?

Thanks,
Alex
