[fetchmail-users] fetchmail not fetching new messages

On May 10th for some reason fetchmail stopped fetching most of the
messages from my gmail account. It fetches some of the mail but not all.
I dont read my gmail on the gmail server so its not showing as read. 

I had about 3400 messages in my gmail account but it said it has seen
893 of them and there are none new. So I deleted all but the newest
ones. That left 416. Now it says it sees 1046 but none are new. 

This has only happened since May 10th. I looked in my system log but saw
nothing that would indicate to me why this is happening. 

Below is my rc file.

# setup second email service provider -> Gmail
	poll pop.gmail.com
	uidl 
        proto pop3
	port 995
	auth password
	user "wad...@gm..." there with password "pass" is "wadesmart"
here
	keep
	no fetchall
	ssl sslcertpath /etc/ssl/certs

Well, it's unlikely to be something related to fetchmail I'm afraid.

All that looks fine.  Can you confirm that you're on 6.3.8 and then
provide the output of "fetchmail --nosyslog --nodetach -vvv -c".

I don't expect to find anything, as I suspect the problem is at GMail,
but it's worth a go :)

Well, I have 6.3.6ubuntu2 installed on my system. Its the latest version
available through synaptic package manger. But I think your right that
its gmail because I did get more of my mail overnight. Im keeping a
close watch on it to see if things come through. 

Thanks.

Try prefixing your user with 'recent'; i.e.:

	user "recent:wad...@gm..." there with password "pass" is
"wadesmart" here

See if that downloads all of your available mail.
