That has nothing to do with the folders getmail pulls mail from. You've configured getmail to deliver everything to the "mail" Maildir: > [destination] > type = Maildir > path = /mnt/d/Survival Flight/mail/ ... so that's exactly what it's doing. The "new" subdir is just how Maildir works (there are also "tmp" and "cur" subdirs, you can look up how it works if you're interested). > It does not grab the full set of existing folders (for example Sent). If Sent exists and getmail is not retrieving messages from that folder, that is a problem (maybe in getmail, maybe in the server). But if you actually mean "it's not delivering mail from the Sent folder to a destination Maildir named Sent", that's because you've configured it not to do that. If you want to deliver messages retrieved from different folders to different local Maildirs etc, there are two common ways to do that: 1) Use a sorting/filtering MDA like maildrop (old Unix-heads will say procmail, but I don't recommend that for new users), and have getmail use that MDA to deliver the retrieved mail. 2) Have multiple getmailrc files, each configured to pull from a specific set of folders (i.e. not "ALL"), and configured to deliver to a specific Maildir/etc. You can then easily invoke getmail with multiple rc files specified. If you're looking for "just magically recreate the remote mail structure locally without having to configure anything", then getmail isn't the tool for the job. There are IMAP-syncing tools that can do that.
