I am trying to configure getmail to retrieve mails to my local machine
from my gmail account. I have enabled imap in gmail. Also i have been
using getmail to retrieve mail from my workplace account for a long
time, so i am sure getmail is working fine. Following is my
getmailrc-gmail
[retriever]
type = SimpleIMAPRetriever
server = imap.google.com
username = bahuroopi
password = mypassword
[destination]
type = MDA_external
path = /usr/bin/procmail
arguments = ("-f", "%(sender)", "-m", "$HOME/.procmailrc")
However i get the following error:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/.getmail$ getmail -n -r getmailrc-gmail
getmail version 4.7.8

SimpleIMAPRetriever:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:143:
getmailrc-gmail: error resolving name ((-2, 'Name or service not known'))
0 messages (0 bytes) retrieved, 0 skipped
If i change to SimpleIMAPSSLRetriever, i get the error:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/.getmail$ getmail -n -r getmailrc-gmail
getmail version 4.7.8

Any pointers appreciated.
TIA.
Arvind
