Hi,
Try changing (in tomail.conf) -
group=private.local [EMAIL PROTECTED] [thread=<messageid>] [strip=xxx.]
[todash] [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] [[EMAIL PROTECTED]]
to -
group=private.local [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The [] indicates an optional item, and should only be included if required.
When it is included, the [] should not appear.
E.g. if you require the sender field, include it like this -
group=private.local [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Similarly, remove these entries from your getmail.conf file.
