[02-19-06 04:28]: A solution would be to use fetchmail for the downloading. This works without problem for another account. But configuring fetchmail is a too big task for me. With fetchmailconf I become stuck in inputs that I do not recognize and for a direct editing of fetchmailrc I need an exact line to put in.
works for me:
poll pop.gmail.com tracepolls with proto POP3 timeout 45 user '<your-gmail-name>@gmail.com' there with password '<acct-passwd>' is '<your-logname-on-your-box>' here options fetchall stripcr ssl mda '/usr/lib/sendmail -i -oem -f %F %T' antispam 571 550 501 554
note: 4 lines, #2 starts with "user", #3 with "mda", #4 with "antispam"
-- Dear Patrick, Thanks. As the sunday is coming to its end and Gmail is suddenly downloading (without any interference from me!!?) I will do this fetchmail part next quiet moment ;).
