getmail
------------------------------------------

mail retriever with support for POP3, IMAP4 and SDPS

A simple replacement for fetchmail. Program retrieves mail (either all
messages, or only unread messages) from one or more POP3/IMAP4/SDPS
servers for one or more email accounts, and reliably delivers into a
qmail-style Maildir, mbox file or to a command (pipe delivery) like
maildrop or procmail, specified on a per-account basis. getmail also
has support for domain (multidrop) mailboxes.

Supported protocols: POP3, POP3-over-SSL, IMAP4, IMAP4-over-SSL, and
SDPS mail.
