So has anyone got getmail fully working with gmail, or does someone have another recommended way of fetching gmail onto a local machine?
I'm using offlineimap with the 'realdelete no' option so I doesn't delete the message on the remote server. offlineimap is really cool because you can call a Python function in it's config file. So if you didn't wanted to store your password you could write a Python lookup function to check your Password Manager[1]. It also allows for name translations so you can work with Gmail annoying '[Gmail]/...' folders.
