In my .pinerc I have defined a list of incoming folders, and a number of
folder collections. Most of these point to LOCAL folders or directories,
with just three exceptions:
- in the incoming folders I have two external sites
Gsuite {imap.gmail.com:993/ssl/novalidate-cert/notls/user=...}
RCM {pop.retecivica.milano.it/service=pop3/user=...}
- in the normal collections I have one
"All Gsuite" {imap.gmail.com:993/ssl/notls/user=...}[[Gmail]]/[]
- the first is checked SELDOM, it is the inbox on Gsuite which is
copied to inbox by fetchmail, every 5 min via crontab. I check it
ONLY if I don't want or can't wait 5 min (e.g. site enabling)
I use
"imap Ggl L" {imap.gmail.com/ssl/[email protected]}INBOX,
with an application password. Certificates work :-)
Is it possible to defer password asking only to when one of the external
folders is accessed explicitly ?
You may be able to run fetchmail as a daemon using the imap idle command
which will allow gmail to alert fetchmail that you have new messages,
so no waiting five minutes. This does require a long-running connection to
gmail but you don't need to set up a TLS link every five minutes.
This works well with my provider but I haven't tried it with Gmail
as I just get them to forward my mail ...
I understand that in this mode fetchmail can only do one account.
The curious thing is that when, after having just started alpine, I type L
to go the collection list screen (usually to navigate to other local
collections)
This asks the Gsuite password (but not the RCM password).
Is this an IMAP vs POP issue, or a Gmail vs others ?
... or may be a first (or last) in the list thing ?
How about using a master password instead?
