[fetchmail-users] SMTP connect error with fetchmail under Cygwin

[Kyle Contreras-B. <kyl...@gm...>]

Hello, folks;

I've been beginning to try and run fetchmail (through Cygwin, on a Windows
box) to backup my Gmail account, for which I've been using the following in
.fetchmailrc:

poll pop.gmail.com with proto POP3 service 995 and options no dns
user so...@gm... there with password PASSWORD is me here  options ssl

The first few times I queried pop.gmail.com, all went well. However, it's
now been reporting the following (I've snipped out the pieces that seemed
normal and the long list of messages):

fetchmail: removing stale lockfile
<snip>
fetchmail: Server certificate verification error: unable to get local issuer
certificate
fetchmail: Server certificate verification error: certificate not trusted
fetchmail: Server certificate verification error: unable to verify the first
certificate
<snip>
reading message so...@gm...@pop.gmail.com:x of x (14003782 octets)
Trying to connect to 127.0.0.1/25...connection failed.
fetchmail: connection to localhost:smtp [127.0.0.1/25] failed: Connection
refused.
fetchmail: SMTP connect to localhost failed
fetchmail: can't raise the listener; falling back to /usr/bin/procmail -d
%T#

Then, after going through a long series of asterisks and periods, fetchmail
reports a socket error and ends with 'status=2'.

Does anybody know what I might be doing wrong here? Any help would be
greatly appreciated, and apologies all around if I'm just being very silly
or should be asking on a Cygwin list.

Thanks,
Kyle
