I tried downloading a 40KB attachment, and it took about 45 seconds of full CPU use before I received it. It looks like getmail consumes so much CPU that it times out before the attachment can be downloaded. I'm doing an emerge -e world now, I'll see if the problem persists after rebuilding everything. emerge world didn't fix anything. I saw via mrtg that I only get about 25K/s to gmail's server (I think the mail downloading is CPU bound). Switching to fetchmail worked fine. I've had the same problem with getmail - it's hungry. Try asking on getmail mailinglist, it's quite active, so you might get some advice. As this is an application "feature", and not a Gentoo-specific bug, I'm closing this. Good luck on the said mailinglist if you're going to ask there. |
