I almost have it working.

I am trying to fetch email from a email imap folder and drag them into
openerp. The script is reading the emails fine but they are not
getting imported into the db. I am starting to think it is something
to do with the permissions on the db but I may be wrong !!:-)

the script runs with
fetchmail -v -k -f fetchmailrc

The script is as follows
#fetchmail
#set daemon 300

poll imap.googlemail.com service 993 proto imap:

username support@domain.co.uk password support mda
"/path/to/openerp-server-5.0.6/bin/addons/crm/scripts/openerp-mailgate/openerp-mailgate.py
-u 1 -p service123! -e support@domain.co.uk -s 1 -m
support@domain.co.uk -d service"
ssl

The script reads the emails bu they are not imported into the db /case section?

Can you assist

Thanks Stephen

Are you sure that those spaces are Ok between the switch and the parameter there?

Hi, I did try that but I got an error?? No errors with u 1 I have seen a couple of posts in the forum that indicate u 1 but quite a few others u1, etc, etc. I don't know which it is meant to be bu u 1 and spaces after the other switches worked for me.

That said I have just tested it with u1 and no spaces for the remaning switches and it works!! Don't understand!!!

Good to hear that.
