Hi,

Simple to do ->

i) Create a .fetchmailrc file in /root folder with below lines :

set postmaster "root"
set logfile /var/log/fetchmail.log

poll pop.gmail.com with proto POP3
    user 'he...@gmail.com' there with password 'aries@123' is he...@gmail.com here options keep ssl sslfingerprint '44:A8:E9:2C:FB:A9:7E:6D:F9:DB:F3:62:B2:9E:F1:A9' sslcertck sslcertpath /home/gmail-certs

Note :- Change he...@gmail.com username and its password with your account and password.


ii) Then, execute this command -> "openssl s_client -host www.gmail.com -port 443". You will get Gmail certificate in middle of "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----" and "-----END CERTIFICATE-----" lines. Then copy and paste that certificate into file with extension .(dot)pem with BEGIN and END texts and place that file into /home/gmail-certs folder ( you need to create /home/gmail-certs folder ).


iii) Finally execute fetchmail command and your fetchmail will work,,,,,


Please let us know the results.

Place attached hehe.pem into your certs directory and make a symbolic link of hehe.pem in certs directory. Name of sym. link should be "594f1775.0".

And, use finger print -> 92:73:17:4C:34:4B:68:F7:B2:17:71:42:0D:7F:9F:33

This will work i have checked. Let us know the results.
