I use fetchmail to download emails from two different accounts into mutt. This worked fine for years on my desktop and then my laptop when travelling. I am currently travelling and using my laptop.
Some times I get the following output:- fetchmail: No mail for b_d...@bigpond.net.au at pop.telstra.com fetchmail: Server certificate verification error: unable to get local issuer certificate fetchmail: Broken certification chain at: /OU=GlobalSign Root CA - R2/O=GlobalSign/CN=GlobalSign fetchmail: This could mean that the server did not provide the intermediate CA's certificate(s), which is nothing fetchmail could do anything about. For details, please see the README.SSL-SERVER document that ships with fetchmail. fetchmail: This could mean that the root CA's signing certificate is not in the trusted CA certificate location, or that c_rehash needs to be run on the certificate directory. For details, please see the documentation of --sslcertpath and --sslcertfile in the manual page. fetchmail: OpenSSL reported: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed fetchmail: SSL connection failed. fetchmail: socket error while fetching from brian.james.d...@gmail.com@pop.gmail.com fetchmail: Query status=2 (SOCKET It get the mail from bigpond account, but fails on the gmail account. On the surface, it seems that the CA's signing certificate is corrupt. If that was the case it would always fail. But it does not always fail. Sometimes is downloads fine. I am using different wi-fi connections and it seems that once it starts to fail with one wi-fi it continues to fail even after a reboot, but I am not certain about that. With a new wi-fi it sometime works fine and then later it fails. Sometimes it fails at first and then works. I have run c_rehash and that does change anything. I can of course read gmail mail in firefox, but I want to download it. Can anyone throw any light on this?
