mbsync error: unknown section keyword 'SSLType'

When I run mbsync user, I get:

I followed this tutorial: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Isync

Perhaps SSL is not installed, but after having installed several SSL apps, this error remains.

Any ideas?

Maybe instead of arch wiki, try the example in /usr/share/doc/isync/examples/mbsyncrc.sample

https://packages.debian.org/stretch/amd ... c/filelist

When asking for help, it's important to include debian version in the question.

Pkg isync depends on libssl1.1 (>= 1.1.0) I don't see why you would say perhaps ssl is not installed?

Code: Select all

$ apt show isync | grep Dep

WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.

maybe the config file syntax has changed recently?
looking at /usr/share/doc/isync/examples/mbsyncrc.sample should help.

Version 9.5.

Thank you. Next time I know to check this.

This is ever so bizarre; the configuration that I posted was the working one I use on my Fedora 28 system, which is a newer version: isync 1.3.0, Debian's version is: isync 1.2.1. Yet Debian's isync says that these commands are depreciated?

I'm not sure what type of logic this is, but I question if Thales or Pythagoras would approve of it.

I tried installing isync with Debian backports, and there is no newer version. As to Debian's sample configuration, I fiddled for hours, and nothing came of it.

I have fetchmail working nicely in both Debian and Fedora, but apparently it is no longer being maintained...

Ultimately, the hope is that, once this is all setup, I won't have to touch it for long time. I want something that is lightweight and can dependably check for and download mail in the background, so that mutt or 'mail' can just grab the files on the computer and read it.

Not really , Fedora and Debian are 2 different distros, what they use on Fedora, might not be the same, nor have the same status as what is used for Debian, and in the Debian packages.

Maybe a little patience :
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo ... bug=906955

We believe that the bug you reported is fixed in the latest version of
isync, which is due to be installed in the Debian FTP archive.

I see it is available in Debian testing,
https://packages.debian.org/buster/isync

Package: isync (1.3.0-2)

In the current Debian stable (stretch) it is still :
Package: isync (1.2.1-2)

The OP maybe could wait, and some one will do it for them,or backport/compile the package from Debian testing, and use it in Debian stable, ?
( I think, but am not positive)
It does look like the newer version should appear soon, in some updates.

nothing in your op says deprecated. just unknown.
why don't you try recreating the config with the help of the example file, the current man page, and/or a tutorial for your specific version?

I see that others have had like issues, but there doesn't seem to be any solution to their posts.

I installed Buster, and it's working now; this was only a small virtual install to check the mail so was quite quick.

try review order,
i had the same issue with CertificateFile and the order i got it to work was:

---
IMAPAccount origin
Host imap.whatever.com
#Port 143
User name@whatever.com
Pass mypassword
# PassCmd "gpg2 -q --for-your-eyes-only --no-tty --batch -d ~/.mail-home.gpg"
CertificateFile ~/certs/imap.whatever.com.pem #/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
SSLType STARTTLS
---

i had SSLType and CertificateFile in inverse order and with a blank line in the middle ( well perhaps was the blank line jaja)
