> I asked about oauth2 support on 2015. <https://sourceforge.net/p/fetchmail/mailman/fetchmail-users/?viewmonth=201511> Thank you, Carlos. I am sorry that I did not understand this thread at all. It seems to veer off talking about IMAP vs POP3 (I prefer POP3) but it is not at all clear to me that fetchmail can handle tokens The thread seems to suggest that fetchmail does not support OAuth2, but that contradicts what I found on the web: Setting Up OAUTH2 Support for Fetchmail and Postfix. | | | | Setting Up OAUTH2 Support for Fetchmail and Postfix | | | So, can fetchmail handle OAuth2 tokens? If so, is there any example? That would be very helpful. I am trying to fetch mails from a POP3 exchange server. Thanks again for any further advice and best wishes!! |

Hi,
I am very grateful to you for pointing this out to me. I have downloaded the master branch and will compile and try out. But before that, would you or anyone else know of an example .fetchmailrc for how to modify the lines to accommodate this support? How do the lines change to use the token?
Many thanks again!

I was trying to compile the version of fetchmail and I had the following questions:
1. Is any option needed to get the contributed OAuth2 support working? Any option in the configure script.
2. I configured with
./configure --with-ssl
and everything went without a hitch.
But when I tried to make, I got:
/bin/sh ./ylwrap rcfile_y.y y.tab.c rcfile_y.c y.tab.h `echo rcfile_y.c | sed -e s/cc$/hh/ -e s/cpp$/hpp/ -e s/cxx$/hxx/ -e s/c++$/h++/ -e s/c$/h/` y.output rcfile_y.output -- yacc -d
yacc: e - line 85 of "/home/Downloads/fetchmail-git-78304ad9cb94fb3baa50819f2d529937f5f0052e/rcfile_y.y", syntax error
%destructor { free ($$); } STRING
^
make: *** [Makefile:1282: rcfile_y.c] Error 1
What is the syntax error from? How do I fix it?
Thanks!

It's from yacc(1), which may be provided by bison(1) on your system.
I'm guessing `%destructor' is not understood by your yacc or bison.

Matthias has since said bison is required so have ./configure prefer bison over byacc. I now see README.git says bison is required.

Matthias has since said bison is required so have ./configure prefer
bison over byacc. I now see README.git says bison is required.
Arguably, the configure script shouldn't settle for byacc if it's not
suitable.
If ./configure doesn't allow that, then consider temporarily
uninstalling the byacc package.

Cheers, Ralph.
Thanks! I will try this. The installation instructions from the github download said that I should have a working yacc so I installed it. It appears to not be needed. I will correct this and test. Thanks again!

I don't know what mail program you are using, but it is broken. Please use
another.
First, the text of the post to which you are replying to must have each
line preceded by '>' that both humans and machines know it is from
previous emails.
(and lines that already start with '>' should get added one more '>')
Second, you can not have a line starting with "-- " and then write your
answer below it, because normal mail programs think that is your
signature, paint it in another colour, and remove it (everything
after the line) when replying.
A good mail program would have either removed the previouse signature or
preceded it with the '>' symbol.
This is the same thing Matthias Andree told you, in more words :-)
If this is the doing of yahoo webmail, then either don't use it, or add
the required symbols manually yourself.
Thank you!
Otherwise, both reading your replies and answering is more difficult for
others.

I am a member of a couple yahoo groups, and peoples inability to learn that the arrow keys on their keyboards will put the curser nearly anyplace in the message so they can type their reply so as to create the email according to list customs or even the RFC's is what boggles what little mind I have left at my age. We won't get into just how broken the yahoo web mail is, its a well established fact, and will not be fixed because Marisa fired all the tech help 2+ years ago. And so far, kmail here has not been given any problems submitting to those groups thru the server at my ISP. Sucking from them is entirely at my ISP's discretion because I actually pull from Shentels dovecot server, not yahoo's. Thats what ISP's are for. Isn't it?
