The latter should work. Run getmail --dump to see what it says about the configuration file location. Since I don't know how to configure getmail I put in what you showed into ~/.getmail/getmailrc and got this output: $ getmail --dump Configuration error: configuration file /home/users/zz/.getmail/getmailrc incorrect (File contains no section headers. file: '/home/users/zz/.getmail/getmailrc', line: 1 'server = imap.gmail.com\n') So while my configuration is obviously wrong, at least getmail tells me which configuration file it's reading. From the documentation and code ~/.config/getmailrc seems to be the first choice if that exists, ~/.getmail/getmailrc is the second.
