A POP3 and IMAP4 mail retriever with reliable Maildir and command delivery. Summary of features: - Retrieve mail from an unlimited number of POP3/IMAP4 mailboxes and servers. - Support for POP3-over-SSL and IMAP-over-SSL, as well as SDPS WARNING: even with SSL, "no certificate or key validation is done." so that getmail does not detect or protect from man-in-the-middle attacks. - Support for multidrop or domain mailboxes. - Safe and reliable delivery to qmail-style Maildirs, as well as program (pipe) delivery for use with arbitrary external MDAs. Includes an MDA for mbox files that supports mboxrd format and fcntl-type flock locking. - Does not destroy information by rewriting mail headers. - Does not cause mail loops by doing SMTP injection, and therefore does not require that you run an MTA (like qmail or sendmail) on your host. - Can remember which mail it has already retrieved, and can be set to only download new messages. - Written in Python, and therefore easy to extend or customize. - Simple to install, configure, and use.
