Hello, I want to retrieve all messages from the horror show that is AOL Mail. I've attempted to use getmail with SimpleIMAPSSLRetriever and SimplePOP3SSLRetriever. When I use SimplePOP3SSLRetriever, the first 2000 messages download. Then, I start getting Retrieval error: server for SimplePOP3SSLRetriever:(username):995 is broken; offered message (message ID) but failed to provide it. Please notify the administrator of the server. Skipping message... When I use SimpleIMAPSSLRetriever, small folders download OK, but large folders produce an error after a larger number of messages download. I am not sure of this number, but it is over 2000. The error is Retrieval error: server for SimpleIMAPSSLRetriever:(username)@imap.aol.com:993 is broken; offered message (first number)/(second number) but failed to provide it. Please notify the administrator of the server. Skipping message... If I start the POP3 getmail again, it seems to download the same 2000 messages. The same is true for IMAP. Is there any way to resume the download from where it left off without deleting the messages from the server? - Compilebunny
