Hi Sascha,

Since you ask for getmail with kolab I would answer this here but the
right ML would have been getmail at lists.pyropus.ca .

This is what works for me:

[normal_delivery]
type=MDA_external
path=/usr/sbin/sendmail
arguments=("-f %(sender)","%(recipient)")

[options]
verbose = 2
delete = true
message_log = /var/log/getmail/getmail.log

It is advisable that you keep delete=false till you see the mails in
your IMAP folders to avoid loosing them.
