Personally I use Getmail and a config for Gmail is a simple as
Code:
[retriever]
type = SimpleIMAPSSLRetriever
server = imap.gmail.whatever
username = user
password = pass
[destination]
type = Mboxrd
path = /some/path/some.mbox
[options]
verbose = 0

I have used getmail4 and offlineimap. both work.
However I have looked for a new alternative since my current machine has NOT python. yeap.
Getmail4 and offlineimap are both python based.
I have either to use gcc, libs to code myself something or look another solution.
I came to fetchmail which is basically coded in C(*).
...
(till now, after using fetchmail several years too, I do think that you cannot retrieve the imap gmail inbox to your local dir with fetchmail)
but getmail4 and offlineimap (python based) yes.
well, still unsolved till now.
(I need portability
)
(It seems that I will have to code sthg to avoid using python)
