Please notify the administrator of the server. Skipping message... This is a nonfatal error. getmail is warning you that the server - it can happen with POP3 or IMAP - included a message in the mailbox contents listing, but when getmail tried to actually retrieve that message, the server responded with "no such message with that ID". The server is broken. getmail will happily let you continue using it. If you can somehow convince the server to stop including the phantom message in its list of the messages in the mailbox, the error message will go away. Please contact your email provider for further help with this. I'm aware that Gmail is essentially impossible to get support from. If that bothers you, perhaps now is a good time to switch to a provider where you're the customer, rather than the product.
