Guys,

could you tell me how to create an imap gmail ssl certificate?

in my .fetchmailrc file I have

poll imap.gmail.com protocol IMAP user "xxxxx@gmail.com" there with password "xxxx" nofetchall keep ssl

but I'm getting an error

fetchmail: Server certificate verification error: unable to get local issuer certificate

I'm on osx.

Thanks

You dont need to create a cert, try this (which works for me for what its worth)

Hi,

Thanks that worked, I'm now getting an

fetchmail: connection to localhost:smtp [::1/25] failed: Connection refused.

error?

any ideas?

fetchmail is trying to email you the messages via the local server versus stuffing them in a file or what have you. You need to look at the documentation to determine what is best.

If you have no smtp server running on your osx machine and your trying to read mail with Mail.app, why not just imap the mail via Mail.app?

Basically I'm trying to download the messages from my google account and forward them on but I'm struggling to get anywhere!

well with the smtpname and mda flags you should be able to do something, its not clear what 'forward them on' means.

Of course you can 'forward' with your gmail filters as well on the google side of things.
