I used to prefer getmail.
I had a small cronjob which calls this:-
,----
| #!/bin/bash
| host=$(hostname)
| mailserver="hermes.servername.net"
| if [ $host != "hermes.servername.net" ]
| then
| echo "Doing remote call to mailserver $mailserver"
| ssh $mailserver /home/shamrock/bin/getmails
| exit
| fi
|
| cmd="getmail -l -a -q"
|
| for file in ~/.getmail/*.rc; do
| cmd="$cmd --rcfile $file "
| done
|
| $cmd
`----
man getmail for the account rc file formats.
But then I discovered offlineimap. Now I run offlineimap every ten
minutes or so which stores imap email from gmail into local maildirs and
I connect gnus directly to them. Fast and efficient. And easily
"cloneable" on my laptops.
