Forgive me if my first note was harsh; you're welcome to ask questions about fetchmail here. It's just that our focus is not really fetchmail. And, well, there's an obvious reason why you probably started using fetchmail; for a very long time we didn't have very good POP support in inc. But I've spent a lot of effort improving that over the years, because for some strange reason I think a MUA should actually work with modern email configurations :-) I think a lot of people are in this boat; they got something working 20 years ago and didn't see a reason to change. If you want to get things working with GMail and inc directly, I know several people have it working here (I also did some testing with it). Really, if you have your username & password for GMail, I hope my previous note provided you enough information to get it going. If it isn't working, let us know (note: if it doesn't work, start with -snoop). --Ken
