feed2imap issue

Hey,

Has anyone tried feed2imap recently? I don't know if the error I'm getting is because of a newer ruby version or because of something else...

.feed2imaprc:

Am I writing the maildir:// path correctly, or is something else going on? I'm afraid my ruby knowledge at the moment is zero....

Thanks!

Re: feed2imap issue

I think you'll have to install an older version of ruby. I just switched to using rss2email-xdg-git with a procmail rule to deliver the mail to a particular folder instead
