So it looks like it grabbed my gmail e mail but I can't seem to find where it dropped them on my machine. I am checking the man page but I can't seem to find the fetchmail config file, I was only told to edit or create a .fetcmailrc file in my home directory.
I am trying to be able to fetch my gmail and then serve it from my local machine via IMAP over SSL. I have IMAP enabled in the defaul places so I am wonder if fetchail needs to be told where to drop mail? When I ran fetchmail -v I saw all the info that fetchmail was getting my mail but it didn't say where it put it and when I ran the command mail on my machine it said I didn't have any messages. I have been googling around and not having much luck. Once again any help is appreciated. I will keep googling to see what I find but if anything sticks out at you please let me know. Both fetchmail and IMAP are both new to me so I am having some issues understanding how it all works.
