Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))
The configuration scripts provided by the wiki to help configure the macports install for fetchmail do not appear to work. The primary reason appears to be that the BSD commands as used have changed since the instructions were written, so the scripts fail on execution. I was able to execute lines one at a time after checking to see how the command really needed to be written. (I eventually stopped following the wiki instructions altogether as I wasn't sure any of it would work.) I'm using 10.6.8 on a mini 1.66 GHz core duo with 2 GB.

The wiki page has been updated to work w/ Mavericks OS X 10.9.3 and the latest fetchmail. It works on my system w/ gmail.
Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.
The instructions were written four years ago; I'm not surprised they're out of date by now. I'm Cc'ing the person who wrote the instructions initially, but anybody is able to edit pages in the wiki, so feel free to do so.
