I've finally realised why your command (shown above) didn't work. The
short answer is "because there's no argument substitution in a literal"
 and you'd used a literal string as the -c optional value where I'd
used  a script, defined via the getmail configuration file and because
you claimed you were using getmail but you actually used fetchmail.
