Sam and discussed this off-list. I can't access my gmail account using movemail either. I enabled IMAP in google settings first. After that the command below should work, as far as I can see. movemail -p 'imap://mygmail.address%40gmail.com@imap.gmail.com' Test.mbox password The connection times out. I tried adding "--tls" and I tried converting the dots in my email address to %2s. I also tried putting the port at the end of the imap URL, ":993", if I do that I get "Input/output error" instead of a timeout. Sam gets a different error "Invalid reply from the remote host". Does anyone know what the problem is here? BR, Robert Thorpe
