Suse 10 Gkrellm Mail

FrostBot · 04-29-2006, 11:46 AM

I have Gkrellm installed and am wondering how to configure whatever I need to config to go to my gmail pop3 to fetch my mail and deliver to my local inbox. Can someone tell me how someone would go about doing this?

Should be simply to setup. Follow the instructions from gmail to allow email programs like Thunderbird or Outlook. http://gmail.google.com/support/bin/...3285&topic=194

Not sure how to sync to your local mail box. Not sure gkrellm can do that. I would contact the developer and ask him how to if possible.

Gkrellm does not itself fetch the mail so for this you could use Fetchmail, and possibly also procmail to filter to correct inboxes. Gkrellm should then scan at intervals the inboxes configured in it's options for new mail.

Yes that's what I'm trying to do. Where is the fetchmail config file? When I run it, it says there's no servers in the config.

You will need to create a ~/.fetchmailrc - there is a good app called fetchmailconf that you can build an rc file by gui. Offhand I don't remember where I got it - it may be part of Fetchmail
