See the thread with subject 'Google and "fetchmail" + "ssmtp"' between |
| 12 |
2022-03-17 and 2022-04-06 on the "gentoo-user" mailing list. |

There's one big gotcha though: shortly before Google's 2022-05-30 dead- |
| 15 |
line for the switch to two-factor-authorization, the upstream maintain- |
| 16 |
ers of "fetchmail" decided to abandon the 7.0.0 release (coincidence?), |
| 17 |
causing the Gentoo maintainers to also drop "fetchmail-7.0.0" from Port- |
| 18 |
age. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
I ended up cloning the "git" source repository from |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
https://gitlab.com/fetchmail/fetchmail.git |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
checking out branch "remote/next", and then running |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
export PREFIX=$HOME |
| 27 |
./autogen.sh |
| 28 |
./configure --disable-IMAP --mandir=$PREFIX/man |
| 29 |
make install |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
which installs the man pages "~/man/man1/fetchmail.1" and "~/man/man1/ |
| 32 |
fetchmailconf.1" as well as the programmes "~/bin/fetchmail" and "~/bin/ |
| 33 |
fetchmailconf" in my home directory. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
But I think this will be only a temporary solution due to lacking maint- |
| 36 |
enance upstream. Looking around a bit I found "getmail" in the Portage |
| 37 |
repository which supports OAuth, but apparently only for IMAP. Bummer. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
Anybody knowing about a replacement for "fetchmail" which provides daem- |
| 40 |
on mode as well as POP and OAuth support, and also allows to directly |
| 41 |
feed the fetched mails into "procmail"? |
| 42 |
|

Sincerely, |
