Perhaps I should switch to getmail...
On the other hand, I'd prefer to stick with fetchmail for my Zen POP3
account,
since it's working well. Then I could use getmail to fetch my gmail mail.
Would that be safe?
If it works I could move Zen mail to getmail later, at my leisure.
(That's the
only sort of time I have these days... :( )
getmail works fine with gmail - just follow their instructions to configure.
getmail itself is a bit flakey - using it with hydroxide as a proton
bridge it keeps going to sleep(need to restart getmail every hour), and
on 3 accounts with my ISP I get random crashes with no indication why.
But with gmail and ventraip.mail its quite stable. On the plus side imap
getmail IDLE works ... I had problems with fetchmail so moved to getmail.
