hi, no ssl cert is necessary, here is the relevant part of my fetchmailrc. then I usually then just do fetchmail -d 50 to have fetchmail poll gmail every 50 seconds. The site that says generating a ssl cert is incorrect all you need is to tell fetchmail to use ssl. poll pop.gmail.com with proto POP3 with options no dns user trev.saunders at gmail.com password <my password> ssl is tbsaunde mda procmail by the way if anyone uses fetchmail with imap and retrieves multiple folders I would be interested to know the syntax for this in my .fetchmailrc.
